*The Brown's Night Before Christmas* Part 2 (The tragedy continues.)

T'was the night before Christmas,
and I'm hanging lights on the house.
I accidently fell off the ladder,
and landed face first on the ground.

My brother saw what happened,
and he rushed to my aid.
He slipped on the icy ground,
and also fell on his face.

But we picked ourselves up,
and brushed off the snow.
Still determine to hang up the lights,
and put on a Christmas show.

We finished hanging up the lights,
and we plugged them in.
Something didn't seem right,
when our house lights started to dim.

All of sudden, Christmas bulbs started bursting,
and electric sparks started to fly.
We're putting on a show in our yard,
and it look like the Fourth of July.

My brother said, "How did this happen?"
as if he didn't realise.
That these lights were old,
bought back in 1995.

We look at the lights,
and of course some strands were on fire.
I guess you shouldn't hot wire Christmas lights,
with electric tape and chicken wire.

Our house blacked out,
and we had to dig out a flashlight to see.
To throw the breaker switch on the fuse box,
and to see if we still have electricity.

Well, the power came back on,
and we look around to see if everything is okay.
The only thing we lost was Christmas lights,
and never thought we would have fireworks on this holiday.

Again, another tragedy happen,
and this year no one got fried.
So, I wish you a "Merry Christmas!"
And remember don't hot wire your Christmas lights.
