TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS :

 

by Dee Ann Christoferson S

Twas the night before xmas, when all through
the house,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

When down through the chimney, all covered
with soot,

Came the "Spirit of Fire", an ugly galoot.

His eyes glowed like embers; his features
were stern,

As he looked all around for something to burn.

What he saw made him grumble, his anger grew
higher,

For there wasn't a thing that would start a
a good fire.

No doors had been blocked by the big Xmas tree,

It stood in the corner leaving passageways free.

The lights that glowed brightly for Betty and
Tim

Had been hung with precaution so none touched
a limb.

All wiring was new, not a break could be seen,

And wet sand at its base kept the tree nice
and green.

The tree had been trimmed by a mother insistant

That the ornaments used must be fire eo

And mother had known the things to avoid,

Like cotton and paper and plain celluloid.

Rock wool, metal icicles, trinkets of glass,

Gave life to the tree; it really had class.

And would you believe it, right next to the
tree,

Was a suitable box for containing debris,

A place to throw wrappings of paper and string

From all of the gifts that Santa might bring.

The ugly galoot was so sad he could bust,

As he climbed up the chimney in utter disgust,

For the folks in this home had paid close
attention

To all of the rules of good FIRE PREVENTION.
