..'TWAS. THE .NIGHT AFTER; CHRISTMAS
(The, Durham Chronicle)
"rwas: the,. night 'AFTER Christmas, . , and boy', what -a. house!
g
I felt like the devil, and so did the spouse;
The eggnogg; and, :turkey and candy were swell,;'
But ten hours later 'they, sure : gave
The .stockings weren't hung by. the chimney with care;
The ;darned ,things were sprawled' on the back of the 'chair,.
The
Th'e' "children were nestled all snug 'in the 'bed,:
But I:had alarge cake':of ice .on my head.-
And when at last I dozed off in a nap, ,
The ice woke me' up when it. fell :in my „.ap,
Then ,for some unknown_.reason I wanted a drink,
So .I startedfeeling my way to the; 'sink. ;.
I got along fine 'til I stepped on the cat;
I • do notrecall what occurred , after that. ,.
When' I came to, the house ; was flooded' with light.
Although .. iind'er the. table;: I was ;high as a • kite..
hile . visions, of "su ar plums,. danced in my head,.
I somehow . got up and - then ,'back into bed:
Then .What • to my wandering, mind should appear,
••
• But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer;
Then the sleigh seemed to change' to ared fire truck,,
And each reindeer, turned into :a ibleax -e. ed.•:.b uck;,
I .knew in a moment'. it inUst .be Old' Nick; •
I tried to cry; but but 'my,_.
tongue':was too -thick _,_i „
Then the oldd devil whistled.. and shouted with glee
�alooked' daggers at pie
While :each buck. clawed 'the' earth and g • .
Then he, called "them by name and the, names rnade be .Shudder;
WhenI heard ,them I felt l_ike_a ship °minus rudder,'•

Now 1Jggnogg! . Bicardi! Four Roses• and B , , Y
Now Fruit 'Cake! Cold Turkey..! Gin Ricky!, and Candy!":
At the tope of his :voice to the top of my skull,'
Now . whack , away, crack away, with thumps that are dui
• Then in a .twinkling 1/felt on my ' roof
The .prancing and pawing of each.: cloven hoof
How long this went on . I'm , sure I can't say,
'.hough it seemed, an eternity plus a long day, •
But finally the night after .Christm,as had :passed,
And I''found'that 1 'could reallythink.•.straight at 1•LIt•
.So 1 thought. of the New, Year aew days. aweY,
And •I made a vow that no tempter can sway:
I'm sticking to water, .don't -even .want ice,
,For there's nothing •as . tasty, or nothing . as nice..
The night after New Years may bother some guys, -
13ut I've learned my lesson and brother, I'm wise.
`yeti can have your. 'rich victuals, ,and liquor that',, red,
But what 'goes to My stomach won't ' go to Ply- head.
So
a.' big HAPPY NVN'' YEAR to you and 40 all.
I'rn back .on the wagon, .and, hope I don't fan.'
