"Twas the night before Cristmas" - Author unknown
- T'was the night before Christmas when all through the Dungeon,
- Not a creature was stirring, not even a slave.
- The Chains and Whips were hung on the walls with care,
- In hopes that St. Nickolas soon would be there.
- The slaves were all tied, all snug in their cages,
- While visions of spankings danced through their heads.
- With me in my leathers and my slave all wrapped,
- I had just settled my brain for a long winters nap.
- When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter,
- I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
- Away to the window, I flew like a flash, tore open the
- drapes and threw up the sash,
- The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
- gave a luster of midday to the objects below.
- When what to my dominate eyes should appear
- But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
- With a little old driver so lively and quick,
- I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick!
- More rapid than eagles his coursers they came
- After he whistled, and shouted and called them by name.
- "Now Dasher! now Dancer! now Pancer! now Vixen!
- On Comet! on Cupid! on Doner! and Blizten!
- To the top of the roof, to the top of the wall,
- Now dash away, dash away, dash away all! "
- As the dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
- When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky!
- So up to the housetop the coursers they flew
- With the sleigh full of B&D toys, and St. Nickolas too.
- And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
- The pranching and pawing of each little hoof.
- As I drew in my head and was turning around
- down the chimmey St. Nickolas came in a bound.
- He was dressed all in red from head to his foot and his
- clothes were all turished with ashes and soot.
- A bundle of B&D toys he had flung on his back and he
- looked like a peddler just opening his pack!
- His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry!
- His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
- His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow and
- the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
- The stump of his pipe he had tight in his teeth and
- the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
- He had a broad face and a round little belly that
- shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
- And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself.
- A wink of his eye and twist of his head soon
- gave me to know I know I had nothing to dread.
- He spake not a word but went straight to his work,
- and filled all the stockings then with jerk,
- And laying his finger asides of his nose and
- giving a nod , up the chimney he rose.
- He sprang to his sleigh to his team he gave a whistle,
- But I heard him explain ere he drove out of sight,
- .
- "Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
