害羞草研究所橳was the Night Before Christmas
And all through Prince Town
Not a creature was stirring
There was no one around.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that big fat cheques from the province soon would be there.
The mayor was nestled all snug in his bed
While visions of an entire day off danced in his head.
When on Old Hedley Road there arose such a clatter
Spencer sprang from his bed to see what was the matter.
The moon on the crest of the new fallen snow
Reminded him of ploughing, or they害羞草研究所檇 be no way to go.
Then what to his wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny mule deer.
Then in a twinkling he heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As he drew in his head and was turning around
Down the chimney Santa Claus came with a bound.
His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry.
But the mayor stepped back, his own face was wary.
害羞草研究所淣o no,害羞草研究所� said St. Nick. 害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 all for the best.
I promise I害羞草研究所檝e just had a negative test.害羞草研究所�
Brushing soot from his jacket, he admired the tree.
害羞草研究所淪orry I害羞草研究所檓 late, but I took Highway 3.害羞草研究所�
And then from his pocket he pulled out his fist.
It clutched a thick scroll, a very long list.
害羞草研究所淟et害羞草研究所檚 see what you need,害羞草研究所� the old elf muttered.
He scanned through the paper and started to stutter.
害羞草研究所淭hese..are..um害羞草研究所all orders. This is a lot.
Most of these asks are for things I don害羞草研究所檛 got.
Stoplights and dikes, equipment and roads
Mental health care, sewers, water. It害羞草研究所檚 loads.
I don害羞草研究所檛 know when I could make this arrive
But I will for sure have a word, when I hit Sussex Drive.害羞草研究所�
Then laying a finger aside of his nose
Up the chimney Santa Claus rose.
But Spencer heard him exclaim, as the team moved along
害羞草研究所淵ou害羞草研究所檝e done awesome, Mr. Mayor. Stay Princeton Strong.害羞草研究所�
