A Christmas Poem

FROM THE NEWSPAPER CARRIER !

I have never seen this version of "The Night Before Christmas" before and thought it was rather cute !

Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the street

You could not hear a sound

Not even a beep

The Christmas trees were decorated with lights all aglow

And beautiful presents lay wrapped just below

The kids were fast asleep with dreams of toys in their heads

While Momma and Daddy were just relaxing in bed

When a noise came from outside they thought was Santa and his sled

But smiled with amusement by what they saw instead

With a thump in the drive and a swoosh in the tube

It was the Washington Post carrier delivering the news

You will see us out each and every night

Just before the glow of the morning light

Before you can turn your light on to see

We round another corner as quick as can be

We twist and turn through each neighborhood

Delivering the news sometimes bad and sometimes good

But as you listen tonight you will hear

Your Washington Post carrier

Wishing You

A Very Happy Holiday Season

And A

Blessed New Year !
