The Night Before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas and all through our home The ferrets were playing, through the house they did roam I knew they would all soon be fast asleep No sounds would be heard not even a peep The candy canes were hung on the tree with care With hopes the ferrets wouldn't notice them there Pumkin pies were cooling from our ovens heat Awaiting the ferrets for their morning treat With me in my sweats and Ezzie in her blankie We all settled in for the night except Sweetie Excitedly she ran from room to room And stopped in the kitchen to attack our broom When it fell to the floor it made such a clatter All the ferrets came to see what was the matter Oh, Zipper, oh Coco, oh Socks and Weazzie Oh, Misty, oh Dusty, oh Bud and Binky They spotted the tree and my what a fuss Climbing the tree was absolutely a must Then Friskie and Randa the limbs they did climb And Randa promptly left poor Friskie behind Spritely quickly skittered up the tree to the top Only to tackle Bobbie and down they did flop Only a 2 foot tree, you need not worry All I saw was two fuzzbeans that were blurry Down at the bottom the others did cheer Hey, now it's our turn, we have no fear! As I sat on the futon and watched them all play I thought to myself, thank God for this and every day. "Merry Christmas To All From Troy Lynn & Ferret Family Services!" [Posted in FML issue 2516]
