'Twas The Night Before Christmas (herper style)

[DaveDragon]

'Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the house

Not a snakey was stirring

nor eating a mouse.

The snake hooks were hung by the chimney with care

In hopes that St. 'Tic-olas soon would be there.

The carpets were sleeping and done with their sheds

While Vision cage fantasies danced in their heads.

The Ball in his hide box, at last shed his eyecap

And had just settled down for a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

My corn struck the cage wondering what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

almost tripped on a heat lamp and threw open the sash,

When to what should my wondering eyes now awake

But a miniature sleigh pulled by eight tiny snakes.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick

I knew in a moment it must be St. 'Tic.

More rapid than Mambas his coursers they came

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name-

"On Hypo! On, Moonglow! Now, Spider and Mojo!

On Tiger! On Motley! On Jungle and Sunglow!

To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall

now crawl away, crawl away, crawl away all!

So up to the housetop the snakeys they flew

With the sleigh full of goodies, and St. 'Tic-olas too.

And then in a twinkling, I heard on the rail

The soft little slither of each little scale.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St. 'Tic-olas came with a bound.

He was all irridescent, from his nose to his vent

and his scales were all shiny with blue-greenish tint

A bundle of goods he had flung on his back

And he looked like a 10 footer, his length had no lack

His eyes they were orange, his heat pits so merry

His jaws were quite large and his teeth rather scary

His droll little mouth had a smile just for show

And the scales of his chin were as white as the snow

He had a broad head and a little round belly

Inside was the neighbor's poor white rabbit Nelly

He was chubby and plump, a right satisfied herp

And I laughed when I saw him, for he let out a burp

A flick of his tongue and a twist of his head

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread

He spoke not a word, but went straight to the tree

and left there a few fed ex boxes for me.

And laying his tail alongside of his nose,

and giving a nod up the chimney he rose

Slithered up to his sleigh, to his team gave a hiss

and away they all flew like a will o' the wisp

But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,

Happy Herping to all, and to all a good night!
