The Night Before a Portland Christmas 2012
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the chamber
Not a creature was stirring, not even the mayor.
The bicycles were locked to the lampposts with flair
New taxes are looming for the public to bear.
The bobbleheads nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of leadership danced in their heads
With ladies in their ‘kerchiefs and guys in a cap,
They just settled down for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the street there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the blinds and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave lustre to objects though stories below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But an old fashioned streetcar, with Earl at the rear.
With an arrogant driver, so brazen and quick,
I knew in a moment this wasn’t St Nick.
Less rapid than snails, the coursers they came,
This Chris he shouted, “cars are to blame!”
“Gone Nissan, gone Ford, now Chev and Caddy”
This guy he thinks he’s such a big daddy
“No Dodge, no Jeep, all over the wall.
Now dash away! Dash away! Gone with them all!”
So down the rails the twosome they drew,
With a trolley of taxes, and Sammyboy too.
For dry leaves that before a hurricane fall,
Add on a leaf fee, a new burden for all.
And then, in an instant, I heard on the street
The prancing and pawing of Sam’s pompous feet.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Him again gone again off with a bound.
Sam sprang to his bike, to the people a thistle.
Pedaling off, special interests, and a shrill whistle,
I heard him exclaim, ‘as he rode through the night,
”More taxes for you, and to all my ego is right!"

Have yourself a Stenchy little Christmas,
Though the compost's ripe...

Is the figure on the left Joseph or a wise man from North Plains?

I think it's Belchthasar.

I had a great Christmas, and this is icing on the cake!

A great way to end a great day! The halo for the baby rat (excuse me, Jesus) was a nice touch. We thank you.
I couldn't help but notice the H&D box. Were there Riviera Pears in it? My favorite.
