Twas The Night Before Bingo
»
Twas the night before bingo
and all thru the hall
not a person was stirring
not even a bingo ball
The daubers were hung
by the chimney with care
in hopes that a bingo
will soon be called there
Lady and Cara
were all snugged in their beds
while visions of getting bingos
danced in their heads
Bluz in her kerchief
and Mann in her cap
had just settled down
for a pre bingo nap
when out of the night
there arose such a clatter
poor Ravens looked up
to see what was the matter
Away to the window
everyone flew like a flash
pushing and shoving
we all made a mad dash
the bingo ball shown
on the new fallen snow
gave the call of you got bingo!
to the people below
but what to my wondering ears
should i hear
but a bingo machine
and a caller so dear
The caller was lively
and a little bit eerie
I knew in an instant
it must be saint ernie
mare rapid then a coverall
his numbers came
as he yelled and whistled
each one by name
now 26, now 52 now 70 and 9!!
on 34, on 75 on 15 and 69!!
to the top of the machine
and into my hand
now bingo away, bingo away,
ain't bingo just grand!!
as monitors that need
to have a refresh
when you see so sorry
the server just crashed
so up to the chimney
the numbers then flew
with a sleigh full of bingos
and st ernie too
and then in the silence
susan heard in the hall
the singing and dancing
that made a big fall
as hulk drew in his hand
and turned right around
down came st ernie
thru the chimney he bound
ernie was dressed like santa
from his head to his foot
his outfit was damaged
from the ashes and soot
a bundle of bingos
he had flung on his back
he looked like a hobo
just opening his sack
his eyes were lifeless
and dimples there werent any
his cheeks were full
and his nose was as big as any
his crooked mouth
was drawn up in a sneer
and his beard on his chin
was everything but sheared
and around his neck
was a tie too loose
it looked like he was ready
to hang by a noose
he had a full face
and there was no belly
but his booty shook
like a bowl full of jelly
he was chubby and plump
his old jolly self
wildthing laughed
in spite of herself
a wink of his eye
and flip of his wrist
soon gave jd a bingo
.....with a twist
ernie spoke not a word
but went straight to his work
filled all the stockings but mine
....what a cruel little jerk
then laying a ball upside his nose
and giving a cackle up the chimney he rose
he sprang to his machine
and gave his numbers a call
away he flew
to the great bingo hall
we all heard him scream
as he flew out of site
HAPPY BINGO TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!
