T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

It was the night before Christmas

And all thru the house

Not a creature was stirring

Except my PC mouse.

The stockings were hung from

the chimney front with care

I just knew old Saint Nick

Would eventually get here.

I worked into the night

Adding dates left and right

There were so many changes

I felt I had lost the fight!

When out on the street

There was so much clatter

I jumped up from my chair

To see what was the matter.

And what to my bleary eyes did appear

But old Santa himself driving

many past horses of the year.

He was dressed in his silks all ready to go

And the horses were prancing and up on their toes.

He called them by name as he wheeled them about

And the names that he called were amazing, no doubt.

There was Delmonica and Bret

At the front of the pack,

 Niatross and Moni weren't too far back

I saw Fresh Yankee and Fan, Cam Fella and Mack

Albatross and Abercrombie rounded out the pack.

I heard old Santa say as he drove them away….

I'm off to the races for a big payday!!

Merry Christmas, HO HO HO
