A Krismuss Miracul

by Heather's Big Bro

By Dana CrandellPublished about a year ago β€’ Updated about a year ago β€’ 2 min read

'Twere the night before Krismuss

Up there on the hill.

We wuz sharin' the last of

The run from the still

~

With most of the kinfolk

And a buncha' friends,

Gramma in her nightshirt

And Pa in Depends.

~

We'd hung all the stockin's

But they all caught fire,

So we'd hung up some tin cans

With a buncha' bobwire.

~

Ma was crackin' some peekans

To bake us a pie,

Cuz the hawgs et the punkins

When they tore down the sty.

~

Sissy wuz there, with Michael,

And the whole Hubler brood.

They showed up singin' carols,

With buckits of food!

~

And the young'uns and old'uns

Had all settled down

While Pam snuggled up with me

In a cute gingham gown

~

And me, I wuz wishin' the

Whole world could be

As happy this Krismuss

As my kin and me!

~

When all of a sudden,

A knock on the door

Made me jump to my feet

And skid 'crost the floor.

~

Grabbin' the brass knob,

I flung the door wide,

And a Krismuss miracul

Wuz waitin' outside.

~

30 Vocal Kreeators

Met my bloodshot eyes

And they'uz holdin' a passel

Of huge punkin pies!

~

There wuz Kristen, and Donna,

L.C. and Sir Paul,

And Jason and Judey -

Heck, I cain't name 'em all,

~

But I brought 'em all in and we

Had a big feast,

And I had fifteen helpin's

Of that pie, at least.

~

Then the party wuz over,

And they drank their last cup

Cuz Krismuss wuz comin'

And that's when I woke up.

~

But I Iheard Cathy's voice,

Ringin' out loud and clear,

β€œMerry Christmas, ya' heathen!

And Happy New Year!”
