A Picklehead Merry Christmas

Twas the Night Before Christmas

When all Through the House,

Not a Creature was Stirring

Not even the Spouse.

When up on the Roof

There Arose Such a Clatter,

We sprang from our Bed

To see What was the Matter.

Then What to Our wondering

Eyes should Appear,

But a Chubby Old Elf

Sporting Pickleball Gear!

He Wasted no Time

But he Started to Dink,

Then Shouting a Challenge

He gave us a Wink.

We Slammed and We’d Lobbed

Then we started to Volley,

He placed his Kill Shot

Then got Oh So Jolly!

We Heard him Exclaim

As he Flew Out of Sight

Maybe Next Year with Practice

They’ll Put up A Fight!

HoHoHo..... Merry Christmas Everyone!
