Teacher Night Before Christmas

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

'Twas the night before Christmas and my teacher relaxed
She was done teaching, no more class.
The children were home, nestled in their beds
With no more tests dancing in their heads.

My teacher, smiled as she thought of the holiday
As September seemed like only yesterday.
This Christmas break was just what she wished for,
Before classes returned for teaching more.

Teacher, may your Christmas be cheery and bright
May Santa visit you on Christmas Eve night.
You deserve this Christmas break too
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to You!

Fills our hearts with joy that never will spill.
So this Christmas, we say with heartfelt glee,
