Analysis of Minnie Was Stirring
Oh it’s that special time of year again
Let us all sit around
Get out our favorite book to read
Umm, it’s nowhere to be found……
Maybe the rabbit ate it?
We can recite from memory~
T’was the night before Christmas~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a~~~~~, oopsie
I forgot to call the exterminator~
Ummm, I did not want them to hurt Minnie
We all know how the story ends
Let’s put some music on
And all go to bed
“SLEEEP IN HEAVENLY PEEEACE”
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ~
And to all a GOOD NIGHT
“Minnie do not open the gifts until morning!”
