Twas the night before Thursday
And poor Clement Moore
Had his poem being copied
By many a bore
His "Night Before Christmas"
Is perfect in rhyme
His rhythm and cadence
Are wonderfully fine.
But then come the wise guys
With internet cool
Who use Clement's rhyme
As sort of a tool
They pick up the style
>From this poem of "that night"
And they hitch up their sled
to whatever's their gripe.
Now I'm not even saying
That there's something not right
By using Moore's poem
To carry a fight.
I guess my complaint
Is not in their chore
But the number of times
they steal from Clem Moore.
So I say to you all
As I close down this gripe
"Merry Christmas to All
And to All a Good Night!"
