TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE EVE OF CHRISTMAS
The creatures weren't stirring they were packed up and leaving.
has a terrible din rang through the house.
The suitcase was packed and out ran the mouse.
What could have caused such a horrible racket?
But little children one two and three.
Their loud rude behaviour was clear to hear and see.
As mum tried to get them to eat greens for tea,
"Eat your sprouts grow healthy." Mum did plead,
But child number one whose name was Jhon
had decided that he would pinch a bun,
child number two her name was Clair
had disappeared to tie bows in her hair.
Then little Sammy child number three
said something so cheeky it can not be written or seen about here.
"Please, Please can you behave for once for me?
I'm so tired and all that I need is a mince pie a cup of tea and to sit on my bum."

and to sit on my bum."
But no one listened to their tired mum.
the taps were turned on and the bubbles poured in,
"Now for a bath, you best all be clean and a mess no more."
Mum desperate now told the naughty three.
Clair was the first as a princess she was and jumped in the bath,
the floor now covered in water and suds.
While silly John and giggly Sammy threw about each other's clean fresh pyjammies.
Poor Mum now going quite barmey
"Please, Please can you behave for once for me?
I'm so tired and all that I need is a mince pie a cup of tea
and to sit on my bum."
But no one listened to their tired mum.
Mum now upset as they had to get dressed for bed,
