‘Twas the night before HOLIDAY, when all through the NOUN,
Not a NOUN was stirring, not even a ANIMAL;
The PLURAL NOUN were VERB by the chimney with care,
In hopes that FAMOUS PERSON would soon be there;
The PLURAL NOUN were nestled all snug in their PLURAL NOUN,
While visions of PLURAL NOUN PAST TENSE VERB their heads;
And PERSONS NAME in their ‘kerchief, and I in my ARTICLE OF CLOTHING,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the PLACE there arose such a NOISE,
I PAST TENSE VERB from the NOUN to see what was the matter.
When, what to my wondering BODY PART should appear,
But a ADJECTIVE sleigh, and NUMBER tiny NOUN.
With a ADJECTIVE old NOUN, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be FAMOUS PERSON.
A bundle of PLURAL NOUN they had flung on their BODY PART,
And they looked like a PROFESSION just opening their pack.
Their BODY PART—how they twinkled! Their BODY PART how merry!
Their cheeks were like PLURAL NOUN, their nose like a NOUN!
They had a ADJECTIVE face and a little ADJECTIVE belly,
That shook, when they PAST TENSE VERB like a bowlful of jelly.
They PAST TENSE VERB not a word, but went straight to their work,
And PAST TENSE VERB all the PLURAL NOUN; then turned with a jerk,
They PAST TENSE VERB to their NOUN, to their team gave a whistle,
And away they all PAST TENSE VERB like the down of a thistle.
But I heard them exclaim, ere they PAST TENSE VERB out of sight,
Happy HOLIDAY to all and to all a ADJECTIVE night!
