'Twas the Night

with some suggestions from Marian

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
But one creature was stiring
But it was not the mouse.
'Twas Marian, she was moshing to POD
which was playing on Life 100.3.
Then on the radio came "Living Sacrifice"
and Marian moshed all over some mice.
Then the last mouse said with a shrill little cry
"May I mosh, too, before I may die?"
Asked Marian, "Do you listen to POD too?"
Said the small little mouse, "I definitely sure do!"
Then on the radio came out some Sloan.
Marian and the mouse let out a great groan.
Marian dragged out her big machine gun
And asked, "Do you like to shoot radios for fun?"
Then Marian took the mouse out to HMV.
Then he said "A small bit of heaven is what I do see!"
They bought all the POD they found in the store
At least all the ones they had not heard before.
When they got home, they put on a song
And then they both moshed to it plain all day long.

'Twas the night of that Christmas
And all through the house.
All creatures were stirring
because of that mouse.

Merry Christmas
from Van and the Vanettes

And here it is 10:18 p.m. on Dec. 24. For 45 minutes Brenna has been asking me to send them to bed "so Santa can fill the stockings." (she knows better.)

"Well then go to bed if you want to," I say.

Brenna replies, "I don't want to go to bed."

At least they have stopped bouncing off the furniture.

Pretty clever! Your daughters are inheriting their Dad's writing talents ... very cool! I like especially the ending (or is it more precisely an epilogue?).

Within half an hour Brenna had memorized it, and has been reciting it for the past 24 hours. She obviously has a better memory than I ever had.

Isn't it? My baby has quite the sense of humour.
