Just stopping by to wish all of my friends a very Happy and Merry Spankmas,
May all your wishes and dreams come true.
Blessed be Everyone
Hugs lil Sam
'Twas the night
before Spankmas, when all through the house
Not an implement
was stirring, not even tawse;
The paddles were
hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that
Spanking Claus soon would be there;
The Lovely Laura
and Crowe were nestled all snug in their corners,
While visions of
red bottoms danced in their heads;
And Kitty in her
corset, and I with my strap,
Had just settled
down for some long winter's slaps,
When out there in
the yard there arose such a clatter,
I jumped from the
bench to see what was the matter.
Over to the
window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the
shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon shone on
the new-fallen snow
Giving the shine
of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my
wondering eyes should appear,
But a big ol'
sled, and eight reindeer,
With a little old
driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a
moment it must be Spanking Claus.
Quicker than shit
they came,
And he whistled,
and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Lily!
now, Jolie! now, Munchkin and Deb!
On, Crus! on
Zelle! on, Sarahnade And Andaussiegirladl !
To the top of the
porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away!
dash away! dash away all!"
So up to the roof
they flew,
With the load
full of toys, and Spanking Claus too.
And then, in a
twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and
pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my
head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney
Spanking Claus came with a bound.
He was dressed
all in leather, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes
were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys
he had flung on his back,
And he looked
like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how
they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were
like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little
mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of
his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a
pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it
encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad
face and a little round belly,
That shook, when
he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and
plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed
when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye
and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to
know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a
word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all
the stockings with implements and toys,
And laying his
finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod,
up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his
sled, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all
flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him
exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"Happy
Spankmas to all, and to all a good-night."
