‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the site,
\nNot a picture was downloading not even a byte.
\nThe blog was being plagiarized by the cartoonist, that knave,
\nI surely do hope Clement Moore won’t spin in his grave.<\/p>\n
The animals were nestled all snug in their dens
\nIn hopes that new visitors would want to be friends.
\nWith no new ideas in my head on this night
\nI settled in front of my keyboard to write.<\/p>\n
When tired I get, silly ideas in my head grow
\nLike talking like Yoda in verse don’t you know.
\nI’ve got in one window, a rhyming dictionary
\nFor when my brain is shuttered and feeling contrary.<\/p>\n
The moon on the breast of the recently deposited snow,
\nReminds me there’s yet three months of winter to go
\nMy brain is starting to wander, let’s get back on track,
\nAs I slay this Christmas classic, like a big shameless hack.<\/p>\n
There’s an old bird in the Funnies who’s wrinkled and wise,
\nI’m talking of Crismus, of course you’ll surmise.
\nAnd it’s on his birthday that to his house will descend,
\nThe stars of the Funnies, each one is his friend.<\/p>\n
Here Deema! here Big Oonch! here Nektara and Todrick!
\nCome in Cyran, Sass, Barnaby, Zo\u00eb and Red Rich!
\nGet off of the porch, come in through the door,
\nBut I ask of you please, don’t track snow on the floor.<\/p>\n
And then in a twinkling, in the room you could hear,
\nEach friend together wishing happiness and cheer.
\nA bundle of snacks laid on the table for the party
\nWere consumed by the visitors, all hale and hearty.<\/p>\n
You know, there’s no way I’ll get through the rest,
\nSo I think that stopping right here would be best.
\nAnd I’ll wish to you all who’ve suffered through this,
\n“Merry Christmas and most of all Holiday Bliss!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
