THE NIGHT SANTA CAME
T’was the night before Christmas and what can I say? My kids had been hopeful all through the day. Then finally, to bed, muttering “Santa don’t care!” Their hopes for a puppy drowned in despair.
Thoughts of “no pets” danced through their heads As they slept with just toys. Alone in their beds. No puppy, no kitten, not even a cat To comfort their hearts for this long winter’s nap.
Then out on the lawn there arose such a clatter That I sprang from my bed to see to the matter. We ran to the window and drew back the drape And in shock we all stared at a marvelous shape!
An angel from heaven and t’was then we did know That Santa was coming with reindeer and more, Bringing pets for our family and courage galore!
No more would we worry ‘bout license or tag For the angel was holding an American flag! Then Santa appeared and there on his back A puppy and kitten wriggled out of the sack.
With a wink of his eye and a twist of his head He let us all know we had nothing to dread. “Bad laws are just made to weigh down my sleigh So remember this night and cast them away.”
So gather your courage and have no regrets. The gift that I bring you is knowing your Rights Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.”
The kids grew up strong and fought for our rights, My daughter’s in Congress but my son set his sights On filling the (White) House with four legged friends! T'was the Night Before Christmas and that’s where it ends…
