‘Twas the night before Christmas and at Creamsicle’s House
All the creatures were snoozing, except for the mouse
The stockings were hung, and all ready to fill
Each carefully placed high near the window sill
The Forget Me Not Cats were anxious for the big day
New toys would arrive, they’d be ready to play
Santa would bring them goodies galore
Of course they had plenty, but could always use more
For some this would be a first Christmas here
In their home filled with love, and their feline friends near
No more cold winters, living out on the street
Here they are sheltered, and have plenty to eat
With the snow gently falling, each kitty would dream
While watching the bright star, and it’s radiant gleam
Christmas is coming, the most special day of the year
For the Forget Me Not cats, a day of great cheer
And then they heard it, the sound on the roof
Of Santa and his sleigh and the reindeer hooves
All of the kitties arose from their naps
Gathered at the window, Creamsicle in his red cap
“Hello all you dear cats”, Santa said
His beard snowy white and his cheeks cherry red
“You are all on my list for being good girls and boys,
What is it you want this year, how about some new toys?”
Creamsicle spoke up, “Yes, Santa, there is something you can do,
But it’s not for us, it’s for other cats too
We have all the toys and the treats that we need
We’d much prefer if you could do for us a special deed
You see Santa, there are many homeless kitties in the world
Who don’t have good homes like us, so we’ve heard
On your journey tonight, wherever you roam
Could you please find each homeless kitty a wonderful home?
We here are all thankful for all that we’ve got
Because we found our forever home at Forget Me Not”
