‘Twas the night before Christmas in a Border Collie’s house.
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The puppy was excited about what lay in store,
when he jumped in the window, the tree hit the floor.

His owners ran down to see what was the matter.
When they entered the room, they stepped on balls that had shattered!
For the third time that day they cleaned up this mess,
that was caused by the little black and white pest.

After they cleaned up, they all went to bed,
as visions of pig ears danced in the pup’s head.
When out on the lawn there arose a loud clatter;
the collie jumped up in the window to see what was the matter!

What he saw when he looked really blew him away.
Eight tiny reindeer had come over to play.
He ran through the kitchen and out the dog door,
and past a chubby little man, a red suit he wore.

He barked at the deer and they started to run,
then he herded them back, now this was real fun!
The chubby little man had entered their home,
while the Border and reindeer continued to roam.

When the pup realized the guy in red was nowhere to be found,
he sniffed him out like the best blood hound.
