Attack of the Giant Christmas Tree; but i survived to tell

ok, 2008, picture this.

i'm almost asleep all cuddled in bed,
kitty at my feet, pillow under my head

when what do my wondering ears suddenly hear
but CRASH, BANG, CLATTER arising my fear

in the darkest of night, i fight off the branches
pinprick needles taking their chances
embedding in my skin do the lil suckers dare
needles in my bed, needles in my hair

i turn on the light to see what was the matter
the gosh-derned tree was nothing but splatter.

so next time you're sleeping, and restfully still
remember that Xmas trees really can kill.

p.s. there will be no visions of sugar plum fairies in my head tonight.

I had a similar thing happen a few years ago involving an alligator lizard hiding in my tree. Wasn't a pretty sight.

Did Dreamer have anything to do with the demise of the tree?

A very poetic catastrophe! :lol:

I agree! Same thing happened to me one year too! The cat managed to knock the tree over in the middle of the night and there was a loud crash!

Dreamer was all snug in bed, too! but once this happened she jumped to nearly the ceiling and her tail was at least as bushy as the tree itself! :rofl:
