The Night After Christmas

a little poem I wrote, based on true events during the holidays:

The Night After Christmas

'Twas the night after Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Except for Maddy in the studio
Trying to finish some supercool paintings
For delivery in the morning.

It was 3am and she thought they were done.
She tumbled into bed, too excited to sleep.
Visions of paintings danced in her head,
So she arose with a clatter to make one more splatter
And away to the studio she flew. 
She turned on the lights and got into the paint, 
In the twinkle of an eye, what do you know..
A whole new painting – just in time for the show.

With the truck full of work, all ready to hang
She ran to the gallery with great cheer. 
Mission accomplished, she exclaimed with a sigh,
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good night!

And Santa went "ho ho ho" all the way home 😂😂😂

Studio shot on the night before delivery - the painting on the left did not make it, but I finished the larger one on the right AND a whole new piece that's a must-see at 10 West Gallery!
