A Christmas Poem

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the (noun)
Not a creature was stirring, not even a/an (noun).
The (plural noun) were tucked, all snug in their (plural noun),
While visions of (adjective) plums danced in their heads.
Then up on the (noun) there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my (noun) to see what was the matter.
It was St. Nicholas with his little (adjective) belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of (plural noun).
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the (plural noun), then turned with a jerk,
And laying his (noun) aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the (noun) he rose.
And I heard him exclaim as he (verb, past tense) out of sight,
(Adjective) Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the soft fluffy blanket
Not a creature was stirring, not even a tall shiny Christmas tree.
The stockings hung by the chimney with care were tucked, all snug in their blue and silver ornaments,
While visions of shiny plums danced in their heads.
Then up on the light up nativity set there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my garland trimmed mantel to see what was the matter.
It was St. Nicholas with his little sparkly belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of baskets of goodies coming to my door.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the parties and parties and parties galore, then turned with a jerk,
And laying his Rudolph the red nosed reindeer aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the partridge in a pear tree he rose.
And I heard him exclaim as he spent out of sight,
"Merry and bright Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the dim bulb
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Spongebob worshipper.
The unintelligent apes were tucked, all snug in their kiss-and-make-uppers,
While visions of wibble-wobbly plums danced in their heads.
Then up on the fern frond there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my toe-as-finger replacement to see what was the matter.
It was St. Nicholas with his little banal belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of ceiling fan accessories.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the cable guys, then turned with a jerk,
And laying his Slurpee machine aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the hippy chicken he rose.
And I heard him exclaim as he smacked gum out of sight,
"Misconstrued Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the baby who's begging to sit on your lap
Not a creature was stirring, not even a 3 month old candy corn.
The cool kids from High School were tucked, all snug in their earache drops,
While visions of giggle inducing plums danced in their heads.
Then up on the former child star who's trying to make a comeback there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my oblivious cell phone using driver to see what was the matter.
It was St. Nicholas with his little hair raising belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of saltine crackers.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the moments of silence, then turned with a jerk,
And laying his coconut hand lotion aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the Cocomotion Hot Cocoa Maker he rose.
And I heard him exclaim as he over-ate out of sight,
"Toe curling Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
