Twas two nights before Christmas and I and my spouse
Had just finished setting some traps for that mouse
It kept us awake eating holes in our wall
It can't be a mouse - it isn't that small.
It's a RAT, said my hubby, coming up with a thought.
I'll put some PB on that trap that you bought.
We'll stop their noises, destruction and stink.
That should do it; stop them; catch them, I think.
The roof has been leaking, our spirits deflated.
Our sense of adventure has really abated.
Crowded and cluttered, a bit overwrought,
Still building and working on this Kitsap lot.
We're tired and weary, old bones need a rest.
Our stamina and patience put to the test.
We'll make it, we've got to, this is all that we've got.
This old rundown cabin on this old rundown lot.
Christmas is coming, we've got to be jolly,
Put aside sad thoughts of the Doylesville Folly.
We must rise to the occasion, remember the season
That Christ came to earth, for a very good reason.
For we cannot survive without His shining Light
Each day is too dark if you live just by sight
We'll trust Him to guide us, to bring us all through
And we'll make this a home if it's the last thing we do!
WISHING YOU AND YOURS A VERY BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!
