T’was the night before Christmas.
Pay heed to my yarn
About the strange happenings
Around my old Barn.
I went to the Barn
To check on things there
Hoping that all
Was tidy and square.
The rush of the water
In the rain-swollen creek.
Was all I could hear -
But then there’s a "squeak".
I went to the hay mow
To find it was still
Not a varmint about
In the cold winter chill.
The stables were empty
The barn was all dark
Not a chirp or a peep
Or a growl or a bark.
When rounding a corner
I was taken aback!
Someone had sharpened
My saws and my Axe!
To the workshop I went
And climbing the stair
To find someone had
Been cleaning in there!
And looking about
I startled myself
Off in the corner
I saw a Barn Elf!
He scurried about
And kept cleaning the place
I couldn’t keep up
With his very quick pace.
He suddenly stopped
Once he was all done
He was smiling a lot
(I guess he had fun!)
He spun ‘round three times
And then pulled his beard
In the blink of an eye
He just disappeared!
I heard a faint noise
As I turned out the light.
"Peace be to all ,
Be safe, and Good Night!"
