T’was the Night Before Christmas
For Desi, Linda, and Will
Perfect Night, Peaceful and Still
No Dogs ‘a barking, no coyotes a’ howling
No Maintenance Men, Angry and Scowling
The Mules were tucked all in their beds
While Shiny new Backpacks danced in their heads
No Big Foot or Mountain Lion sniffing around
Indiahoma, our Quiet Little Town
Santa checked his list “Who’s Naughty, Who’s Nice?”
Gave it a look, a Second, a Thrice
“Surely Someone Has Been Good?!?
In this little Okie neighborhood
It CAN’T be they’ve all been bad
I WON’T leave these children sad!”
Good Old Santa knew what to do!
Tore out THAT page and started ANEW!
“You on Becker, Brenton and Asenap
Slumbering there in your nightcap
Big Bow, Chebatah, Potter and Main
We’re going to start all over again
Suffolk, Grassland and Dillon too
There’s no more reason to be Blue
Hampshire, Hereford, Showcase and Charlois
On Santa’s List, ITS A BRAND NEW DAY!”
Above Indiahoma a Star did Brightly Burn
And Smile Down upon on this Fateful Turn
2023 Christmas, this Season of Giving
Bestowing Second Chances and Good Clean Living
