'Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Except for a mouse.

The kittens were nestled,
All snug in their bed,
As visions of catnip
Pounced through their heads.

When up on the cabin top
They heard such a clatter,
The felines did spring
To supervise the matter.

And what did they see
As they sprang up the stairs?
A fat, jolly man
With white beard and white hair.

Santa, they mewed,
Could it really be you?
Dear Junie and Ammy,
It is, it is true.

Good little kittens
I see you have been.
So I brought you some presents
With feathers and fins.

Toys for the chasing
And cans filled with fish
And a new fleecy pillow
To fill your last wish.

And as he departed
His white upon white
He sang to his reindeer
To the sky, take flight.

And that is the end of this Christmas eve tale.
Or tail.
Or tails.

Meowy Christmas from the Smalley kitters to all.

May your Christmas Eve be a quiet one.

And may all your Christmas wishes come true.
