Just Two Weeks
Before Christmas

The following parody on the
s'Night Before Christmas" was writ
ten and read by Mrs. Stanley McVey
at the Christmas party of the Ladies
Auxiliary OF Rising Fire Company
held at her home on Cherry Street
on the evening of Monday, Dec. IL:
Just two weeks before Christmas, and
all through the streets,
The Auxiliary ladies are stirring. st
Nicholas to meet.
Their lips are all painted and done
with great care,
In hope that st. Nicholas will surely
be there.
The maidens are dolled up, with ring
let's ON kead,
We're out for a good time, so they
all said.
They arrived at the house where the
party's to be,
And are welcomed by hostesses Ty-
son, Mcvey and Mackey.
Indeed, when they mingled, it made
such a clatter,
That the neighbors will say, wEat in
the world is the matter.
So away to the windows we flew like
a flash,
And pulled down the blinds almost
the sash.
The rain is falling; it might turn to
snow,
For the weatker's uncertain, as we
all know.
But what does it matter, we have
nothing to fear,
For our hearts are happy, and full OF
holiday cheer.
Sh! I hear step, so lively and quick,
/ think for moment, it must be St.
Nick.
More rapid than eagles his reindeer
came;
He shouted and whistled and called
them by name.
On, Ahsby! On, Ferguson! On, Thom-
as! On, Tyson! On, Clifford! On,
White!
We're in big hurry; big party to-
night.
Now Santa is happy, and we should
be too,
For those presents he gives all come
from you.
So let's give st. Nick welcome, a
rousing good cheer;
Treat him we'll tonight; invite Kim
back next year.
