‘T was the night before Christmas,
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Except a small mouse
-
Now this was quite odd
As a matter of fact
It had been killed earlier
By a black and white cat
-
But out in the graveyard
Strange noises were heard
The undead were rising,
Fresh flesh they preferred
-
But the village was quiet
On this cold clear night
Nobody was there
To put up a fight
-
The undead were marching
As the people lay sleeping
Unaware of the threat
That was currently creeping
-
One of the undead
Broke into a house
And accidentally trod
On the small zombie mouse
-
Inside of this home
The children were dreaming
If they awoke
They soon would be screaming
-
The zombie approached
Prepared for a snack
But the next thing he saw
Was inside of a sack
-
With a swish of a blade
The zombie head fell
This corpse now descending
Back into hell
-
But who held the blade
That flashed by so quick?
Enter our hero
The bearded St. Nick
-
After killing the zombie
He cleaned up the gore
The house was as tidy
As it had been before
-
St Nick sipped some sherry
Then ate a mince pie
Then left some wrapped presents
Before waving goodbye
-
He flicked off a crumb
From his suit made of red
Ready to continue
To fight the undead
