North Pole Wassil (by Pat Herman, for Center for Disabilities)
Twas the night before Christmas, and at the north pole,
The house was a’shaking with some loud rock and roll;
The old man was working and so were the elves,
Mrs. Claus and the mice had the house all to themselves;
The mice boogied down and ate crackers and cheese,
While Mrs. Claus spun and swayed in her favorite chemise;
St. Nick and his reindeer delivered package and parcel;
Whilst Mrs. Claus enjoyed glasses of warm English Wassail.
Warmed and infused with all types of spices,
It even contained some juicy orange slices;
Mrs. Claus raised her glass and gave out our cheer,
Wishing the world Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
