Posting post to post a post

I felt like posting today, but I can't think of anything to post about, so I'm just going to post a Christmas poem I wrote a few years ago.
Here goes.

'Twas a "hic" night 'fore Chris "hic" mas

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all ‘round my home
Were guests and relations, a few were quite stoned
From the party just ending that Christmas eve night
They staggered & stumbled & made such a sight
Saying good-bye as they left for the evening
As I gathered up all their Christmas tide leavings
A half sack of wack & a bottle of Brooks
And some real special brownies that somebody’d cooked
Some bottles of wine & some bottles of beer
Told tale of the guests who had left in good cheer
I set the leftovers on the floor by the fire
And wandered upstairs to my bed to retire
As I was drifting toward well deserved sleep
From the floor down below I heard a soft creak
Then a thump, and a footstep, a cough, and a sneeze
My heartbeat grew heavy, my breath was a wheeze
I knew now for sure that there was someone there
I picked up my Colt and I crept to the stair
I came to the landing from there to see down
To the living room scene from whence came the sound
Of this fat motherfucker who was scarfing my stash
He’d eaten my brownies & smoked up my hash
He guzzled my bourbon with unrestrained glee
Then walked down the hall to the bathroom to pee
I picked up a pillow to muffle the blast
And without hesitation popped a cap in his ass
He fell to the floor with a wet meaty thump
And lay there quite still in a red & white clump
I searched through the house for his method of entry
My dog having proved to be shit for a sentry
Out on the lawn there stood munching on hay
Eight goddamn reindeer attached to a sleigh
There was no snow, on the ground, not a flake
So how did it get there, there must be some mistake
I went to examine this deer powered sled
And found there were presents piled high in the bed
I climbed to the seat to check out the loot
Gameboys, & yo-yos, a basketball hoop
Dollies, & teddies both stuffed and to wear
Bicycles, skates and an X-box were there
Popular gifts for girls and for boys
Even a few of those adult type toys
You know the kind that are shaped like a prick
For ladies & faggots who can’t get no dick
I turned to the reigns, the deer stamped in alarm
I tried to assure them they wouldn’t be harmed
As I looked round the cockpit surprised what I’d found
A whip that said one smack for up, two for down
A smack on the left & they turn to the right
Figure the rest out you seem pretty bright
So I snapped the whip once o’er their heads with delight
And fast as a comet rose into the night
On Dasher on Dancer on Chewy & Paco
On Sleepy & Dopey on Nancy & Rocko
Hattiesburg faded away in the evening
Before me I knew not where the reindeer were leading
Down to the coast in the blink of an eye
Approaching Mach 2 we tore through the sky
Casinos & shrimp boats soon shrank in our wake
We hung a quick left then we got a bad break
Coastal defense with some fast F14s
Had scrambled to shoot down my sled & my team
We dodged & we ran from their sidewinder missiles
Then settled to earth like the down of a thistle
And where did we land with SAC on our tail
But the Mousetrap-A-Go Go in Fort Lauderdale
I landed the sled on a Cadillac car
I tied up the deer & strolled into the bar
Four different strippers had a dance in my lap
So I picked out one with a really nice rack
I took her out side to check out my sled
We hopped in the back & ...
well lets just say it’s my poem & I’ll finish it any way I want to

Hi Bert,
I don't know how bad it is in the States, but Christmas decorations started to appear in stores here in Australia September 12, the day after Fathers Day.
Easter stuff usually starts appearing in January, just after the Stocktake Sales, and Newy Year sales.
So for you to write about Chistmas so late in the year, is a wonderful thing.
