Twas the Night Before Navidad

Twas the Night Before Navidad

By: Jonmicol

Twas the night before Navidad, when all through my casa

There was smells of pernil and arroz con dulce y pasas.

My uncle and grandpa drinking cervezas

And waiting for mami to put the food on the mesa.

****************

The children were looking at el arbolito

And grandma was sippin' on some more coquito.

The radio was blaring aguinaldos and salsa

While my tia yelled at my cousin "No andes descalza!"

*******************

When all of a sudden I discovered my granpa

In the bedroom half dressed as if he was Santa

"So there is no santa?" I asked, my voice low.

"Mijo, can you keep a secret? Yo soy Santa Cló"

********************

From the bedroom appeared Santa with a bag full of sorpesas.

As my brother kept asking "Why's Santa drinking Cerveza?"

And he stumbled from there to a chair by the tree

He called all the children "Muchachos vengan aquí"

*********************

"Ven Maicol, ven Hobri Ven Rodney y Normita,

Ven Joshua ven Vicky ven Chonchi y Lupita

Helena, Victor y Deborah vengan

Avenzen coño que me duele la pierna"

**************************

And when it was time for me to sit on his lap.

He asked "You didn't tell anyone, verdad?"

"No Mr. Clause your secret's safe here"

"A pues está bien....take a sip of my beer."

*********************************

He walked back to the room when the gifts were none

And no one realized that Santa was gone

Except me because the greatest surpise of all

Was that I knew my granpa was Santa Clause.
