Twas the night before Christmas and all through Brick House
There was only one stirring in the cold, old school house
Outside the snow was piled belly- high to a mule
And the heat wasn’t working cause they ran out of fuel
Lav put on her coat and without even a peep
Let herself out to go hot-wire the Jeep.
She would go and get firewood. A fire should help some
Though she didn’t know it, her idea was real dumb
She put pedal to metal like you would in a race
Too bad in the Brick House there is no fireplace
“We ALL have pneumonia!” The Town Crier cried
“Donate some fuel or we’ll die!” TC lied
Even though her idea was surely no winner
You can hate the sin, but still love the sinner
MG, at the truck stop warming up in the shower
knew the Brick House would soon be without power
They couldn’t pay the electricity bill..
With a heavy heart, she walked back up the hill
Jerry’s job isn’t as easy as it looks
You can cook the beans, but you can’t cook the books
No beans for electricity, no beans for the fuel
On the Eve of Christmas, the world sure seemed cruel
Pico went to Beckwith’s to sell her gold locket
To Brick House the dollars. The change she will pocket
DM, the defense monitor, was very perplexed
without power or fuel, what would be next?
His job was to keep the Brick House from danger
What they all needed was a real game changer
The Aggressive Informant, also known as A I
Was really depressed cause she couldn’t spy.
She had to keep Air force -1 on the ground
Maybe she should get herself a Blood Hound
Treason thought she’d put an ad in the Coyote
So maybe this story could end on a high note
The ad says, “Come to the Brick House Party this New Years Eve”
It will be 2016 when you get here… 2017 when you leave
Bring a donation, food, drink and a coat
Will you help Next Pres, or will it be all she wrote
When the party is over, there will be people to thank
Then Carol can sing all the way to the bank
It appears our Sherri will be drawing photos all night!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Merry Christmas, Mary! No problems with having to keep the fire going in Mexico. Perhaps you should shift locations next Xmas.
