Crowmer’s Christmas Eve

Twas the night  before Christmas and  I was feeling quite chilly, 
The cold front came in and it was a dilly.

I jumped into bed and dreamland was near,  
When, what to my old ears did I imagine to hear? 
A cawing, a rattle, it sounded quite near! 
Crowmer screeching  loudly, ‘Ma, you got any beer?’ 

We had some dark lager that was surely outdated 
But I said help yourself, 
‘Oh thank you!’ he stated. 

He called all his friends, they came in on the wing. 
I added some stale Cheetos and an old bologna ring. 
As I settled back down, the murder went on 
Chuga-lugging and mugging, having lots of fun! 

As the last Corvid flew when the party had ended, 
I heard Crowmer caw as he slowly ascended,   
‘Merry Christmas, Ma and Sammy -
And all Merriman West!
The banquet was lovely, the brew was the best! ‘
