I am not much of a poet, as you will see if you read further.
My apologies.
Hunting season and the holidays collide this time every year and all Texas women know what that means.
In case you are giving your husband a utensil useful for hunting, like say a gun, this Christmas, this little ditty can serve as an incentive to send your husband on a scavenger hunt that is sure to entertain your children and other loved ones.
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
The children were tucked in and trembling with fear because a cowboy was loose and protecting their gear.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with glee and there was amo beribboned and under the tree.
Other folks get golf clubs, fishing rods, and the occasional book.
Not at this house; no, take another look.
The gun safe is locked with its dangerous load.
Nothing new there, so don’t bother with the code.
With another weapon, we’ll all feel more secure.
You’ll be the envy of all alpha males, that’s for sure.
Burglars, be warned: Best stay out of sight!
This Christmas is protected and locked up tight!
Santa is jolly and his message is blunt:
Merry Christmas to all and to all a safe hunt!
I’m sure my husband is hoping the hunt for a new gun will become an annual Christmas morning tradition.
Personally, I think a good novel and a box of chocolates are more in keeping with the peaceful sentiments of the season.
Bambi agrees with me.
