>Twas the night before Christmas when all thru the abode
>only one creature was stirring, and she was cleaning the commode.
>The children were finally sleeping, all snug in their beds,
>while visions of Nintendo 64 and Barbie flipped thru their heads.
>The dad was snoring in front of the TV
>with a half constructed bicycle perched on his knee.
>So only the mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter,
>which made her sigh, "Now what is the matter?"
>With toilet bowl brush still clutched in her hand,
>she descended the stairs, and saw the old man.
>He was covered with soot, which fell with a shrug.
>"Oh GREAT," muttered mom. "Now i have to clean the rug"
>"ho-ho-ho!", cried Santa, "I'm glad you're awake"
>Your gift was especially difficult to make!"
>"thanks Santa, but all i want is some time alone"
>"Exactly!" he chuckled, "I've made you a clone."
>"A clone?" she asked "what good is that?"
>"Run along Santa. I have no time to chit-chat"
>" But She's your twin! This gift is a definite must,
>same double-chin and eyes, and she'll even dust.
>So, you could take it easy. She'll clean every mess
>and you could watch "The Young and the restless"
>"Fantastic!" Mom cheered. " My dream come true!
>I'll shop. I'll read. I'll sleep a whole night thru!"
>From the room above, the youngest began to fret.
>"Mommy?! I'm scared..and I am wet.
>The clone replied, "I'm coming sweetheart"
>"Hey!" Mom smiled. "She sure knows her part!"
>The clone changed the small one, and hummed a tune,
>as she bundled the child, in a blanket cocoon.
>Said child, "You're the best Mommy ever. I really love you"
>The clone smiled and said "I love you, too".
>The mom frowned and said, "Sorry Santa, no deal."
>That's MY child's love that she's trying to steal."
>Smiling wisely Santa said, "To me it is clear
>that only one loving mother is needed in here."
>The mom kissed her child, and tucked her in bed
>"Thanks Santa", she said, "for clearing my head.
>I sometimes forget that it won't be too long
>when they'll be much much too old for my cradle song."
>The clock on the mantel began to chime.
>Santa whispered to the clone, "It works every time."
>With the clone by his side Santa said, "Goodnight!
>Merry Christmas, mom. You'll be alright".
