Tonight we had our ARMY 6:12 Christmas Party. For a game tonight we did an old-school activity – we did a MADLIB! You remember – the “edit some nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. in the story” activity.
We re-wrote the ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas poem and here’s what we came up with:
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the BIRD, not a creature was stirring, not even a BALL.
The CATS were tucked, all snug in their HORSES, while visions of BLUE plums danced in their heads.
Then up on the CRUTCH there arose such a clatter.
I sprang from my HAT to see what was the matter.
It was St. Nicholas with his HAIRY belly, that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of TRACTORS.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work and filled all the UNDIES, then turned wtih a jerk. And laying his CHEESE aside of his nose and giving a nod, up the ZEBRA he rose. I heard him exclaim as he POOPED out of sight, “BLOODY Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
I think I like the original better!
That…is disturbing.
