Twas the Night Before Christmas…

"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house 
not a creature was stirring, ‘xcept the crazy Procrastispouse. 

With glue in her hair, and glitter in her face…
she cut it and stuck it at an amazing pace!

The sweat did not phase her, nor did the snow as it began to fall…
”I will get these finished!  Dammit, I’ll finish them ALL!”

She rocked back and forth rubbing the pain in her back
and she giggled with glee at the sight of her Mod Podge and Perma Tac.

She trimmed and she glued all through the night,
her poor husband slept alone and awoke to a fright.

there was a pile on the floor not 10 feet away
he shook his head and laughed, knowing not what to say…

the pile was snoring, a movement she did not make
She’d finished them all and even baked a Christmas cake!

She had done it, all right.  With pure dedication…
finished her tasks and passed out, in her tiny craft station.

The note on the table said “Im done you have to wrap”
and he did it without question, so she could have a well deserved nap.
