It's Christmas Eve here in my "Burb of the Burgh"..... so let me be the first to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas ..... and best wishes for a Happy New Year!
But; first a tale from last night..........
Twas the night times two; before Christmas,in this "Burb of the Burgh"
and all through the house
not a creature was stirring; not even a mouse.
Much thanks to our cat named;.... Willow.
Both Boys are home from College this year...
still "nestled all snug in their beds"......
..........as noon nears.
Mamma has no "kerchief" I fear ...
so she's buried herself deep
in a pile of quilt covers......
But twas a bit different.... last dead of night.
Well before the new dawn break...
our nine month old pup (Gracie) was awake.
She was raising such a clatter.....
that I had to spring from my bed to see what was the matter......
Grabbing a Mag-light and my compact "Smith 9"........
Away to the window I flew like a flash......
no shutters to open...... I just threw up the sash
But saw nothing the matter.
So I decided to "go see"...
to check out the matter....
while taking Miss Gracie with me
The moon was covered by a blanket of fog.
It made the cold night air feel quit spooky afar
I shown my light, on the last of the new fallen snow
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
No; not tiny reindeer.....
just a doe,.....
and two fawns from this year.
At the sight of my dog they were all lively and quick .....
but luckily for me she was on a short leash.
Gracie was quite aroused and excited........
so I called them bad names, and
cried out to them; Now dash away!.....dash away...... dash away all!
As dry leaves that before the hurricane fly,
they ran towards my neighbor's abode in full flight;
as they came to an obstacle, they mount to the sky
Like the down of a thistle
they were over that fence
with a loud deer whistle.
In my diversion...........
Mamma had sprung from her bed
to the top of the stair....
and I heard her exclaim,as they flew out of sight................
"What the hell's going on down there!!!!
I'm trying to sleep !!!!!!"
So on this Christmas Eve morn ..........
let me just say.......
Merry Christmas to all..
..... and more coffee please!
