Monsters In the Night

No monsters here says mother bright

Yet I know they come in the night

Creeping forth from the shadows

Down the chimney with their mayhem

Even now I can hear them

My dark and blighted glacial foes

Softly to the front room I sneak

To save us from the danger

When what should I see before my eyes?

Christmas tree blazing and Santa

Brushing himself free of cinders

While reindeer chase blights through the skies

And we sit down for milk and cookies

Safe in the light that Christmas brings
