My apologies to Clement Clarke Moore

Twas the day before the day before Christmas and all through Casa Weetabix

Not a creature was stirring but for a curvy round girl pulling out all her holiday tricks

the laundry needed washing, presents needed wrapping

her fingernail polish chipped, litter box full of cat crappings

a box of Ghiradelli cookie mix sat unopened and wasted

the visions she had of passing the cookies off as homemade were no longer to be tasted

all about the home unwrapped presents lay scattered

while yon curvy Weetabix had apathy, none of that mattered

without women, it seemed, Christmas just doesn’t get done

guys just don’t seem to care about well-thought out gifts and happy food of the season

doubled over with cramps, Weet flew from her computer desk

scurried around, trying to comprehend the mess

presents in the Monte, presents in the garage,

presents in the dining room, hall and in her long term storage

all waiting for her hands to wrap, tape and adorn

while Esteban surfed the internet looking for porn (ok, not really, but it rhymed)

“Up, Up I say!” She said with alarm

“I need help with this! Cause I don’t give a darn

If you’re a big burly guy with no care for the season

half this shit’s for YOUR family, that’s enough reason

for you to get wrapping, get tying, start making bows

Get moving, get up, go now go!”

Esteban rose from his seat, afraid of this beast

who had the PMS and wasn’t caring in the least

He got in his truck, drove off in a hurry

returned with 65 gift bags, tissue paper, and then he did scurry

stuffing the bags with all Weet’s holiday stash

far less stressful than wrapping and well worth the cash

Weetabix smiled at her spouse, tipped back a Blind Russian and said “let’s hit the hay”

Esteban checked his watch thoroughly and said “It’s the middle of the day!”

“I know” said dear Weet, “but I must confess

I’ve been a bad girl… and you’ve been the best.”

She gave him a kiss and then off they went to bed

where Weetabix gave him an early Christmas present for him to unwrap instead

They were heard to exclaim before they closed the door and turned off the lights

“Have a super Holiday season and don’t get too stressed…. good night!”
