T'was the night before Christmas <br /> Didn't have a single dime to spare <br /> I've lost almost everything in my name <br /> Katrina left me with nothing I swear <br /> <br /> My clothes came from Salvation Army <br /> And the food from the Red Cross <br /> Wilma came for a visit too and poof! <br /> That really made me so angry and so crossed! <br /> <br /> My roof leaks now even if it doesn't rain <br /> And the job I had is lost and gone <br /> Forget about presents and turkey day <br /> At least I dream with all the stores and coupons <br /> <br /> The power is out didn't have money to pay <br /> In the dark I try not to pout and swear today <br /> My credit cards are in deep trouble and my <br /> Bank account probably won't see another new day <br /> <br /> But waiting are cookies and milk for Santa <br /> Maybe this year he can be really nice to me <br /> Every time I see his jolly face I still <br /> Feel like laughing all the way on Christmas Day too! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!<br /><br />Dorian Petersen Potter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/t-was-the-night-before-christmas-a-christmas-parody-poem/
