'Twas the night after Christmas, when all through the house Was an orgy of presents, worth more than... the house; The xbox was stuffed up the chimney with care, For fear that the repo-man soon would be there; My mind, it was pondering, while laying in bed, A vision of bankruptcy danced in my head; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just barely survived this consumerist trap, When out in the yard there arose such a clatter, I fell out of the bed; several ribs did I shatter. Away to the window I limped like a mule, Still drunk as a fish, from the tidings of yule. The moon on the roof of my new minivan, Gave a lustrous sheen you just can't buy in a can, When, what to my grog-fuddled eyes should turn up, But a furniture van, with eight dwarves in the truck, With a little old driver, so deceitful and slick, I guessed at that moment, "He's probably named Nick." More rapid than vermin his movers they came, And he blasphemed and cussed, as he called them by name; "Now, Tony and Angelo! Vincent! Emilio! Go, Raymond! Rosario! And Danny and Guido! I want half on the front door and half on the side! We need this crap moved by a quarter to five!" And then, in a twinkling, I heard from the room The scraping and prying of objects removed. As I cradled my head, and was turning around, Into the foyer Nick came with a bound. He was dressed all in black, the irreverent weasel, And he sported some pipes 'bout the size of Vin Diesel; A bundle of tools he had flung on his back, And he looked like a shyster, or a lawyer on crack. His eyes—they were sunken! his dimples unmerry! His cheeks were like hockey pucks, his nose—frickin' scary! His tight little mouth was drawn up like a noose, And the look on his face said "I'll cook your goose."; The stump of a gun he held firm in his hand, Left no dangling question 'bout who was the man; He had a hard face and a prominent belly, That shook, when he laughed like a bowl of spaghetti. He was alarmingly grim, a right nasty old elf, And I whizzed in my boxers, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I that I may turn up dead; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And stole all our presents; the contemptuous jerk, And raising his finger in the mid of his hand, He asked for my credit cards, and said I was banned; He sprang to his truck, to his thugs gave an order, And they made for the hills, like those folks near the border. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "Some things may be priceless, but debt just ain't right."
