Twas the night before Christmas, a twist on a classic

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Decorations were appearing, causing a disgruntled spouse.
The dachshunds Christmas jumpers were knitted with care
Even the Ninja had glitter in his hair
The hospital appointments for the year had been done
But good news was still not come.
The heart was still spasming and the drugs were not fun
But much feeling better was my tum
When a glimmer of hope appeared from a far
To London we went by carriage or car
Alas though the hope of a spinal cord cure
Was dashed by a meeting, almost for sure
For the ambulance and hospital that lay always in wait
I thank you and prey for good fortune and fate
For those on duty and always in good cheer
Spare them a thought while you drink your beer
So to Christmas and the new year we head
And hopefully spending less time in bed
My wishes to friends on this Christmas night
Happy Christmas to all and too all a good-night
