Twas the night before Christmas and all was quiet and sound,
Not a creature was stirring not even my Hound.
She was snug in her bed all tucked in for the night,
Until she suddenly awoke when something gave her a fright.
It was the sound of some footsteps on the rooftop she heard,
Maybe it?s a possum, a squirrel, or a bird.
So she ran to the window not knowing what would appear,
And to her surprise she saw Santa with reindeer.
She waddled outside hoping Santa would play,
When she finally made it to him, she let out a great Hound bay.
Santa stepped to her and gave a soft pat on the head,
Hush now little Basset, I think everyone?s in bed.
But Santa, said the Basset, I?m so happy you?re here,
I want to go with you tonight and spread cheer.
Well then, my little Basset as he held her by the paw,
He said to her come and we will spread it to all.
As she leaped into the sleigh she saw a great bag of toys,
Is this what you bring to all the little Basset girls and boys?
Why yes, said Santa, I show everyone love,
Now hold on tight he said as they flew high above.
Up higher, up higher she flew in the sleigh without fears,
As Santa looked to her, he saw her great flapping ears.
It was quite the adventure for the Basset Hound that night,
She brought presents to a cat and they didn?t even fight.
And to a Hound family of ten, lots toys did they need,
Ten Bassets in one house is a lot of mouths to feed.
Worn out with so much fun the little Hound did tire,
So Santa brought her home and laid her down by the fire.
A wooden house she lived in and the wind made it creek,
Before Santa could leave he got a warm lick on the cheek.
Santa just smiled and with a glimmer in his eye,
He winked to her once and he said his goodbye.
As she lay there in her bed, she glanced at the Christmas tree,
Underneath was a giant bone labeled To: Houndie.
She listened to his sleigh bells as he took off for his flight,
Shouting, ?A Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight?.
