The Night After X-mas By: Tremayne Francis
| Tis the night after X-mas After all the gifts were given The time now is to clean The mess of package and ribbon The dishes are still dirty From the holiday feast And the rest of the family had gone No one left to help in the least Mom was too tired to clean Of course dad was too Off to bed they went What am I supposed to do My parents are now sleeping I could hear my mom snore I looked around the house Trash and dirty dishes galore And then I remembered A memory most splendid I had one xmas wish left Wondered how I’d use it? Another toy; some more money: A sister or a brother? I have three video games Should I wish for another? I looked at the clock It’s almost midnight I’d better hurry up For the wish to work right I got on my knees On the side of my bed Hands and eyes gripped tight | My wish firm in my head I wish I may I wish I might Have this wish I wish tonight The wish id asked for Mom and dad would be pleased I wished our home cleaned A chore request appeased I awoke the net morning To my dad’s angry shout Down the stairs I ran To see what’s that about The house was so clean Spotless to a tee So what was the problem? Oh what could it be? Dad had a paper in his hand gave it to mom though Then she started to yell What was it I asked to know They gave me the paper’ It was shocking what I read It was note from Santa $8,373 cleaning bill it said From Santa’s cleaning service With his signature so bright Santa and his elves cleaned up Our whole home last night It will take a year to pay Still, my wish I don’t regret it But, be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it! |
