10 - They Ho Ho Home Invasion
Dec 19, 2024’Twas the night after payment, and what do you know?
It seems that my patrons still owed me some dough
They’ll need a quick lesson, best learn not to dare
Cross Père Noël, or I’ll give them a scare
Alas, I’m too busy, my vengeance must wait
I’ll need a small miracle before deciding their fate
That very same night, five men strode to my shop,
Complaining that one of my gadgets went “pop”
I knew what they asked, I could help them, you see
But why would I ever do something for free?
I saw it now, a Gond miracle had occurred
These five could help punish the folks who deferred
They almost agreed but then wanted much more
“Fine, if you succeed, choose a gift from these four”
I gave them my sleigh, the one powered by rocket
Three houses to visit, I wrote on their docket
The packages they deliver, likely won’t kill
They’re simply reminders, to pay up the bill
So off they all went, blazing into the night
I hope they’d soon give, my deadbeat clients a fright
Twasn’t easy, conflicts arose at each stop
They even had reason, to punch out a cop
With midnight approaching, they finished in a hurry
Their targets now know, don’t tempt Père’s furry
A deals a deal, don’t let people say Père
Is anything but, judicious and fair
I told them all about, the ones that they sought
About the Casselanters and the nimblewrights they bought
They wanted more still, than the original deal
They argued about it, with incredible zeal
I’m not quite sure how, maybe divine intervention
They managed to swindle me out four inventions
So heed this tale, if you’re late on your due
Père Noël’s wrath, may come looking for you
