'twas the nite before christmas eve
in Myers World Headquarters
not a creature was stirring
even the boys were following orders.
all the food was to be prepped with care
because soon the family would all be there
but what do we find to a sudden fright
the 'fridge is out and been out for 3 nights!
off we go to the 24 hour wal-mart
i even got to ride in one of those motor carts
(those are slow, by the way)
we got all we needed and needed all we got
trust me, filling a 'fridge really takes a lot.
christmas eve went off without a hitch
even tho someone's always gotta be a witch
the kids, the paper, the bows, the presents
maybe next year, someone will be a little more pleasant.
in the end:
i think all the families and friends enjoyed their trip
i even heard mention of wanting more SPINACH DIP!

but wait, there's more. even after the wally-world trip, we got home and got everything put up, we took naps. the garage door was open and somehow the side door opened as well. ringo and rosco got out. at midnite, we're scouring the neighborhood for our dogs. tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats.
they came home after hearing us yell out for them, i think, or after they heard the truck. nightmare before christmas eve, indeed.
