Three Parodies of “Twas the Night Before Christmas”

(Just so you know — I wrote the last one!)

Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the house,
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse
As earlier that night with the aid of cheese and a trap
I bade Mr. Mouse “Merry Christmas!” as the spring went snap

Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the Crescent
Not a creature was stirring not even a peasant
But that in itself is not uncommon to see
When you live in a gated community

Twas the night before Christmas and all
were socially distanced.
Six foot apart and wearing masks at every instance.
But we reveled and rejoiced with food a-plenty
As we bid farewell to 2020.
