The Christmas Light Monster
Don’t underestimate the work to be done when Christmas decorating with everyone. A small town tradition and everyone joins in (For in Christmas tradition we all are akin) Decorating the evergreen inside the town square and everyone’s is disappointed if you are not there Well one cold holiday I thought “I’ll do them a favor!” Because my mood was thick with a generous flavor To do the decorating with me myself and I because I’m rather a foolhardy and impulsive guy but I wanted to give my small town a gift so I waited till night and ran off so swift I ran to the town square and broke in the building where stored are the towns lights, and ornament gilding red ribbons for wrapping it, tinsel for trapping it and decorations to be placed on the towns tree, bit by bit “It was too much!” so I thought “I’ll just do the lights...” and when I am done it’ll be quite the sight I will take everyone by such a surprise and I’ll stay anonymous so in fame I won’t rise... So I borrowed a wheel loader to lift up the box For they left the keys, so I went down the block and I set it down in front of the tree Already set up and waiting for me! I turned off the motor, and I got out to work then I noticed the air had a cloudy white murk... Well, I opened the box and took the lights out then I looked left and right for anyone about.... I plugged the strand in (For the lights were part of one.) and they lit up red and green and thus, I had begun Then from the bottom I went round and round but then it became to tall for me to reach so I went back to the building that I had just breached I dragged one from there to set up the lights I am not someone who is afraid of heights The tree was 40 feet high... the ladder was twenty then I thought “ I gonna have to resort to climb like a monkey!” After the ladder fell short, then I jumped on the tree the branches were strong enough surprisingly... Green needles all falling and branches all snapping and more and more strands I was pulling and grabbing Pine scent overwhelming, and tree lights shining Yet high round the tree the lights were all twining It was slow work, as I climbed the tree I didn’t care how it looked, this labor was free I’ll fix it all later... I thought “Say... I’m near the top! “I will put some lights ‘round there before I stop” But then the air got thicker it became like pea soup I lost my footing so downward I swooped, For while I was wrapping the tree all around a thick fog had rolled in and had covered the ground but downward I rolled and I became tangled in lights And so shiny was I... I was wrapped up so tight! Arms and legs and my torso was wrapped and to this huge evergreen I was unwittingly strapped It kept me from falling too hard I gotta admit... But I was so frustrated I threw a fit! And the fog was thick and Gothic and white it contrasted so greatly with my red and green lights I stood up all dressed in small L.E.D’s and I lifted my arms and shouted “Why me!” The town was waking, and slow cars went by but stopped when they saw a light covered guy The Christmas tree in shambles, I needed to go ...I brought some good pliers... I just...I don’t know! Let’s just say I escaped the police and in my sheer panic was more slippery than grease The Christmas light Monster he’s the talk of the town How he came in the fog when it, thickly, had grown He destroys Christmas trees, looks at you and screams Then runs off leaving a trail of pine needle leaves My town is so dumb, but maybe they know And as the years go by the stories just grow sightings hearsay, a broken light bulb and he’ll swallow your tree tree in one big gulp And as for myself, I haven’t seen anything you didn’t hear this story from the likes of me Here is the moral so be sure to remember: ALWAYS HAVE HELP ON A CHRISTMAS ENDEAVOR. ---Ava Nerio(My Quest For Meestaceesm)
