TWAS
THE MONTH BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS
AND ALL THROUGH MY HOUSE,
STUFF WAS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN
BETTER THAN LAST WEEKS MOUSE!
MOMMY IS ON THE STEP STOOL
WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE HER FALL,
SHE'S HAULING DOWN BOXES
AND CARRIES THEM INTO THE HALL.
INSIDE, WE REMEMBER
ARE WONDERFUL TOYS,
THERE ARE RIBBONS & PAPER
AND BALLS FOR US BOYS!
MOMMY OPENS THE BOXES
AND LOOKS AWAY FOR A SECOND,
THATS ALL IT TAKES YOU KNOW
THE INSIDE OF THE BOXES BECKON!
SO IN WE ALL JUMP
AND THE FUN REALLY STARTS,
BECAUSE GETTING INTO TROUBLE
IS WHATS BEST IN OUR HEARTS!
DADDY BROUGHT IN A TREE
AND WE ARE HELPING FOR SURE,
HE SPUTTERS & TRIES TO CATCH US
BUT WE ARE GONE IN A BLURR!
THE TREE IS UP & IT'S TIME-
WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHO IS BEST
AT CLIMBING THE TREE TO THE TOP
AND IT DOESN'T COUNT IF YOU REST.
HERE COMES THE STRINGS
MOMMY & DADDY CALL THEM LIGHTS
WE GOT THEM AROUND MAX'S NECK
OH PLEASE PLEASE PULL THEM TIGHT!
THE LIGHTS ARE GOING ROUND & ROUND
WHEN SUDDENLY WHAT DOES APPEAR?
IT'S SHEY'S FACE WAY UP IN THE TREE!
WE'RE ALL LAUGHING, DADDY WANTS A BEER!
NOW COME THE BALLS
IN FUN SHAPES AND SIZES
SOME ROUND, SOME SOFT,
LOTS OF BOXES WITH PRIZES!
OFF WE DASH TO HIDE SO NO ONE CAN SEE
WE ARE PLOTTING OUR BIG ATTACK-
MOMMY THINKS GARLAND SHOULD BE ON THE TREE,
WE THINK WE'LL HANG ON AND PULL IT BACK!
THE TREE IS DONE SO ON TO THE NEXT
MOMMY SET ON THE TABLE HER CUTE VILLAGE.
WHAT IS SHE THINKING WHEN SHE WALKS AWAY
OUR GANG IS READY AND AWAY WE GO TO PILLAGE!
THE BOXES ARE EMPTY AND OUR EYES ARE HEAVY
WE NEED A LONG NAP AND INNOCENT WE LOOK.
SOON MOMMY & DADDY WILL BE ASLEEP,
SHANEY COULDN'T WAIT, AN ORNAMENT HE TOOK!
THERE WILL BE MANY MORE
TO BE REMOVED FROM THE TREE
AND IN THE MORNING WHEN ASKED
WE LOOK AROUND AND ASK-WHO ME??
MOMMY IS QUICK TO FORGIVE
WE KNOW THE RIGHT TRICKS,
SOME NICE HUGS AND PURRS
AND SEAL IT WITH KISSY LICKS!
THEN TO BE SURE WE ARE CLEAR
WE START OUR BEST DEFENSES,
A LITTLE STRUT IN FRONT OF MAX
AND HE'LL LOOSE ALL HIS SENSES!
AS MOMMY IS CATCHING THE TREE
AND HOLDING MAX AT BAY,
WE ARE OFF AGAIN WITH DECORATIONS
SINCE IT'S A WHOLE NEW DAY!
AND THUS GOES OUR MONTH
OF THE HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS,
EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY
WITH LOTS OF TIME TO MAKE OUR CREATIONS!
MOMMY GRINS AND SHAKES HER HEAD
WE'RE PRETTY SURE SHE HAS HER HUNCHES,
BUT SHE ENJOYS US AND OUR ANTICS
BECAUSE SHE LOVES US WHOLE BUNCHES!
I LOVE MY MOMMY & DADDY
AS I'M SURE YOUR'S YOU LOVE TOO,
BECAUSE WE ARE WARM & SAFE
AND NOTHING WILL HARM US OR YOU!
MOMMY SAYS SHE'S BLESSED
AND NOTHING SHE WOULD CHANGE,
FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITHOUT PETS
WOULD BE LONELY AND STRANGE.
I BEEN ON THIS THINGY TO LONG
SO AWAY I MUST FLY,
THERE'S SO MUCH TROUBLE TO FIND
I MUST SAY GOOD-BYE !!!
AS I TURN AND DEPART
MY SIBLINGS AND I TAKE FLIGHT,
WE PASS OUR MESSAGE FOR MOMMY:
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL & TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT !!
SAMMY, SIDNEY, SHEY, SHANEY, SUZI, SARENA & MAX
AKA THE FLUFFY PAW GANG!
