TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2020
Twas the night before Christmas 2020 and all through the house
Every creature was stirring, from humans to mouse
The stockings were tossed on the chimney, who cares
It's been months since we entertained, would Saint Nick even dare
The children were nestled all snug in their in beds
As visions of rubber gloves danced in their heads
And Mama in her gaiter and me in my mask
Had just settled our brains for a long cleaning task
When out on the roof there arose such a clatter
I sprang from mt mop to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
I peeked through the shutter, barely touching the sash
The moon on the breast of the new snow
Gave me faith that someday we'd have somewhere to go
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight spotless reindeer
With a little old driver decked out in full gear
I knew in a moment we'd have Christmas this year!
More safely than Hazmat the reindeer came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name
Now Clorox! Now Pine-Sol! Now Lysol and Purex!
On Comet! On Purell! On Top Job and Germ-X!
Wipe the top of the porch! Then to the top of the wall!
Now wipe away! Wipe away! Wipe away all!
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they finished and then took a jump to the sky
So up to the housetop the reindeer they flew
Which a sleigh full of masks and Saint Nicholas too!
And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof
The pawing of each little rubber gloved hoof
As I pulled up my mask and was turning around
Down the chimney a big bucked came with a bound!
It was covered in plastic from bottom to top
And the contents were sterile, despite the long drop
I missed seeing his eyes and his dimples so merry
But the virus prevents that, these times are scary
I imagined his face and his little round belly
That shook when he laughed like a hand sanitizer jelly
But I saw him outside, though, as he stood near his sleigh
And I laughed when I saw him from six feet away
And laying a finger aside his mask
The reindeer rose up, they had finished their task
He waved to me then to his team gave a shout
and socially distancing, quickly flew out
But I heard him proclaim as he drove out of sight,
Shots and Boosters for all
Merry Christmas to all, we will be all right!
