Twas the Night Before Christmas: Part 2
Twas the night before Christmas
And Santa is scared
For he's approaching the house
that before he would not have dared

This is the house
Of Ed McIntyre
The man who had once
Set Santa on fire

Now his son was as
Good as good can be
And Santa just
had to give him a present
He's like that (you see)

But one day
Ed started to think
Thoughts circled his mind
Like skaters in an ice rink

"Santa must be evil"*
Old Edward thought
"I must stop the horror
That Santa has brought."

So for five years now
He tried to kill St. Nick
He had to do it
And do it quick

Year number one
Wasn't much fun
For Ed shot at Santa
With your average handgun

He took his shot and
Santa he didn't hit
He instead hit his truch
and yelled out "Oh Darn!"

Year number two
He made Santa run
When he came after him
With a double-barrel shotgun.

For Santa, now,
This was not swell
Because each bullet loaded
Had an exploding shell.

He shot at Santa again
with the greatest of care,
But once again missed
and only hit air.

Year number three
He had a bazooka at hand
to blow Santa to bits
(that was his plan).

The rocket was fired
As quiet as a mouse,
But Ed missed again
And hit his neighbors house

Year number four
He had a ground to air missle
That would shoot in the air
Making a sound like a whistle.

Santa he missed
And this isn't funny.
He hit instead
The Easter Bunny.**

Year number five
The missles were changed.
They were heat-seaking now
And had maximum range.

Ed fired at Santa
But did not prevail.
Though he did slightly
Singe Rudolph's tail.

Set forth to the house
Was Old Chris Cringle.
He had goosebumps
And was beginning to tingle.

This year Ed
Had gone all out.
"Say goodbye Santa!"
He gave with a shout.

Land mines were strung
About the roof.
The lumps in the snow
Were there for proof.

Barbed wire was hung
On the chimney with care
In the hopes that St. Nicholas
Soon would be there.

Missles were lined
All over his home.
One was disguised
As a friendly lawn gnome.

Santa approached
And he heard a whirr
As a rocket went past
(it flew like a bird).

Rockets were fired.
Missles were shot.
Grenades exploded.
There were quite a lot.

Finally Santa's
sleigh was struck.
He couldn't get jump out.
His @#%&ing seatbelt was stuck.

Santa's sleigh landed
In the soft white snow.
What would become of him
He just didn't know.

Ed approached slowly
(a grin on his face)
But suddenly Santa
Pulled out his can of mace.

He sprayed Ed
And it made his face ache
And it gave Santa
Time to escape.

Santa flew off,
His mind filled with fear,
Just what would happen...
Just what would happen next year.

*Don't ask me why he thought this. He was stupid okay.
**The Easter Bunny was not killed. He was placed under intensive care, and he should be back on his feet by next Easter.
