It was the night before Christmas

It was the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
I anxiously waited for that day to get here,
to get that Cox model airplane in air oh so clear.
To get that dizzy feeling that I really crave,
to fly it around, oh how I would be so brave.
To it fly around near the speed of light,
how it would make me smile, with such great delight.
That smell of nitro would cling in the air,
all over my hands and all over my hair.
Then out the window I heard such a clatter,
I dropped my remote to see what was the matter.
It was that fat man from up north of Washington state,
would he have something for me? Wouldn't that be great!
I screamed with delight and I shouted with glee,
a brand new Cox model airplane, all just for me.
Now I'm so happy, and ready for flight.
to all a good Christmas, and to all a good night.

Wishing all a safe and wonderful holiday season.
Joe
