The night before Christmas
I was in quite a pinch
I could get her to kiss me
that part was a cinch
All through the house
I'd hung milsletoes
She'd be standing under it
wherever she goes
Just one kiss from her...
my heart would just flutter
I had better brush away
the taste of peanut butter
I'd bought here a gift
some sexy lengerie
She'd make it look great
that much I could say
Then as the outfit
I was carefully wrappin'
I knocked over my drink
so I grabbed up some napkins
I also had bought her
some nice smelling lotion
for a sensual massage...
well, that was my notion
Would she see through my ploy?
That was my biggest fear
For I was as horny
as Santa's reindeer!

This poem was written on request for Mallam23 http://sharepoetry.com/mallam23 Long story made short. I said give me a subject and I'd try to write her a poem. This was her response: Hmmm... between now and Christmas.. I think I want to request that you write something about Christmas, mistletoes, peanut butter, lingerie, napkins, lotion, and reindeer all in one poem. Can you do that? Well I not only used them all I used them in the order she gave them to me also. It took me about forty five minutes. I hope you like it Mallam.

Christmas wishes, eh?
BB,
this poem is both hilarious and well written.
there's a lot of fresh and funny details here, like the peanut butter and Santa's reindeer analogy. haha. and that you hung mistletoe everywhere and spilled your drink shows your such a typical guy. not to mention your "gift"...
so apparently you wrote this for someone else, but i bet you had someone on your mind anyway.
good luck with that massage. hehe.
always,
Pap

Thank you
I appreciate the compliment. This was one of those poems that just seemed to write itself. I simply refered the to list of words I was given and let the thoughts form. I would like to think I'm anything but the "typical" though. I hear too many complaints about them. It's not my I spilled my drink. I was thinking how great she would look in the present I'd bought "just for her". As to who I was thinking of...I'll plead the fifth. Thanks again.

LMFAO!!!! Wow, Brian... I haven't had the chance to get on here to read the poem until just now. Your words are truly genius. I couldn't stop laughing as I was reading through this brilliant work of art. I was surprised you could create a poem in sequence with the list I created. Thank you for putting a smile on my face today. You are a BRILLIANT man.

Thank you
I don't know about genius...but I'm glad I fullfilled your need to laugh. I was as surprised as you that I was able to pull this off for you just as you had asked me too. I love to satisfy you so there's my motivation right there. I think of myself more as lucky than brilliant. You just happened to pick the perfect words to work with so surely anyone could have done this. If I put a smile on your face then I'm happy. It's the least I could do. You put a smile on my face every time I talk to you. Thanks for the great poem and the wonderful compliments.

Bravo and Salutations
Thats good stuff brian, I love reading peoples own versions of (Twas the night before Christmas). This is the second one I have read today like this. I keep wanting to do one as well but just have not taken the time to do it. I love it when a challenge comes along to add things into a poem. A long while back, a friend of mine said she had no concept of how to write a poem, that the words were just not there for her. I told her she says poetic things all the time. For most of the day I hung out with her doing things we would normaly do, when she would say something catchy,(which she did alot) I would scribble it down when she wasnt watching. The following day I told her what I had done and presented her with a poem made entirley of things she had said. She was shocked I would do such a thing. After reading it she laughed so hard, then she hugged me,thanked me and told me she was going to treasure it always. Not even a year later she was diagnosed with cancer and has since past on, This is one of my treasured memories of her and the time we shared here togeather. The way this poem you wrote came about reminded me of this and I thank you for it.

Thank you
I actually hadn't even thought of this as a version of Twas the night before Christmas. I guess in a way it is. I do have one that was intended to be a spoof of it though called The Night Before Christmas. I haven't posted it as yet though. I have another that is very cute called The Christmas Surprise. I too enjoy a good challenge. That was indeed a wonderful thing to do for your friend. I'm glad I was able to spark such a fond memory. Memories like that are indeed treasures to be cherished. Thank you for sharing such an endearing memory with me.
