Santa Paws

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even an elephant.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that Santa Paws would soon be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of gators danced in their heads;

And daddy in his 'kerchief and I in mine,

Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

Oh, it was just the UPS guy.
