A Holiday Poem
T?was the night before Christmas, and all through the city,
Not a person was laughing, nothing looked pretty.
The streets were all filled with holiday trash,
And the people looked gloom because they spent all their cash.
The kids were asleep all passed out in their beds,
While the sounds of their Ipods jammed in their heads.
Their Mother and Father sat nervous as can be,
Wired on the new Starbucks drink Frappa-Mochi
When outside that night it sounded like techno
The boy awoke from his dream with the words, ?heck-no.?
He jumped from his bed and ran straight to the skylight,
And looked up to the heavens and saw such a fright.
The sky was polluted with particles of dust,
He couldn't see past it, but he knew that he must.
There was something up there that looked out of place,
What he saw looked like aliens from outer-space?
There was a strange sound that came from the ship,
It zoomed through the sky, with a twirl and a dip.
The boy got excited and then needed to pee,
When we saw the ship filled with 8 celebrity!
Its, Paris and Jessica, Christina and Brittney!
Justin, Madonna, Beyonce and McPhee!
They all started a choirs that lead the boy to tears,
When they sang out in harmony about all their fears.
They sang of the paparazzi and about gaining weight,
Looking at his watch the boy noticed it was late.
He rubbed his eyes and let out a yawn,
When the ship abruptly halted and crashed on his lawn.
The Celebrities in piles had started to scream,
When they turned on each other and then things got mean.
Christina stood up and grabbed Brittney's hair,
A catfight unraveled with no such care.
The boy started to yell, but nobody could hear,
He stood from the window and switched in high gear.
The boy stood up and bellowed with all his might,
?You are acting like children, now stop this fight!?
The celebrities looked at the boy standing there,
They stopped all their havoc and let free the hair.
They all felt so silly for the mess they had made,
The young boy had witnessed the whole tirade.
The boy then shared what the seasons about,
?It is the time to give, it's not the time to pout,
You need to think of one another, and help those in need,
Stop thinking of yourself and stop all this greed!?
They began to see what the boy had spoke of,
So they got back in their ship singing songs about love.
The celebrities took off, out of his sight,
While the boy softly sang, ?Happy Holidays, Goodnight!?
