Twas two nights before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even David my spouse.
The stockings and undies were hung by the chimney with care
in hopes that the fire would dry them with warm air
The Chinooks were nestled all snug on their beds
while visions of dog sledding danced in their heads
where across snowy fields the Chinooks they flew,
with the sleigh full of treats and Kay Lee too.When off the counter there arose such a clatter,not a creature was stirring, not even David my spouse.
The stockings and undies were hung by the chimney with care
in hopes that the fire would dry them with warm air
The Chinooks were nestled all snug on their beds
while visions of dog sledding danced in their heads
where across snowy fields the Chinooks they flew,
all sprang from their beds to see what was the matter.
Away to the kitchen all flew like a flash.
Counter surfing Kitty had caused the cookie plate to crash.
With noses so keen, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment all crumbs and glass they would lick.
More rapid than eagles, rooing they came,
I whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
"Now Koyuk! now, Willy! now, McKenzie and Cedar!”
(At times like this, I was the leader).
"To the top of your beds next to the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
