Twas The Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas in the Bahamas Beach House

No crab nor fish stirring, no site of a mouse.

No Stockings were hung, for no chimney was there

No hope for Saint Nicholas, but I didn’t much care

The children weren’t here I miss them so much

I’ll be here for a while but we’ll keep in touch.

Well, I ain’t got no ‘’kerchief” and just had a “night cap”

I’m just settling down with 2 dogs in my lap

When out on the deck there arose such a clatter

I threw the dogs off to see what was a matter

Out the screen door, I flew like a flash

What ever it was, it made a mad dash.

The moon it had settled on the water just so

Gave luster of mid-day to the sea life below

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

But millions of stars and a dipper so clear

No, Dasher, no, Dancer, no Prancer or Vixen

No, Comet, no Cupid, no Donner or Blizen!

That’s a kids story but here’s the real deal

The beauty tonight is so vast and surreal

Slow down for a minute, Rest your frantic pace

For the one who has brought us, is here in this place

Sleep tight all ye children, for our Saviour is here

Not Santa or Rudolph or any ole rain deer

Baby Jesus was born under similar star light

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good-Night!
