Twas the Night Before Christmas
And all over the office
Not an offer came through
On a house that was nice.

The buyers were nestled
All snug in their beds
Ignoring the listings
But keeping well fed.

While I in my car
Head to "Open the House"
And wait in the kitchen
But it was quiet as a mouse.

When out on the lawn
There arose such a clatter
I ran through the door
To see what was the matter.

When what to my wondering
Eyes should appear
But an agent and buyer
With an offer to hear.

They spoke many words
And we went straight to work
Not a lowball offer
From a know-it-all jerk.

Laying a finger
On the side of my nose
I added a frig
And the offer, it rose.

And I hear them exclaim
As they drove out of sight
"I just love that house,
For us, it's just right"

Nice "playing Around", Karen! I do Santa gigs every year and one of my most difficult tasks (not being a singer or musician) is the reading of "Twas The Night..." to Mrs. Claus's Flute accompaniment. I give her fits jumping ahead or slowing down (to frolic with a kid), so I can't wait to slip your lines into play without any notice to the Mrs.

Thanks!!! Jim

Karen, I touched it up just a speck. It really is good!

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE REAL ESTATE CHRISTMAS

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the land, not an offer came through for a house that was grand.

The buyers were nestled all snug in their beds, ignoring the listings, but keeping well fed.

While, I in my car, went to "Open the House" and wait in the kitchen, it as was quiet as a mouse.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I ran through the door to see what was the matter.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but an agent and a buyer with an offer to hear.

They spoke many words and we went straight to the work. It was not a lowball offer from a know-it-all jerk.

Laying a finger on the side of my nose, I added a frig and the offer, it rose.

And I heard them exclaim, as they drove out of sight, "We just love that house! For us, it's just right!"
