I hope everyone is having or has had a very good holiday weekend (or just a good weekend in general). I recently posted this pic to my DeviantArt gallery ( Link Here ) to celebrate Christmas, and I included a little parody of the "Night Before Christmas" as a little something extra. I got a little overexcited (bc its Chandler Riggs) and thought about it a lot, and I just couldn't help myself but write a little bit more.
I hope you all enjoy my (extended) poem.
Thank you!
Chandler Riggs: Christmas with the Boys!
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
Stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
But none could’ve guessed that St. Nick would really be there…
The Riggs children nestled all snug in their beds,
While the sudden presence of Santa loomed over their heads;
Mom and dad slept magically from some dust off Santa’s hat.
Both parents were settled in for a long winter’s nap.
Santa tiptoed through the halls, no noise and no clatter.
He visited the younger boys’ room to settle some matter.
Poor Chandler. Poor Grayson. Their attitudes were trash,
And not-so-jolly Ol’ Santa had some punishment in stash.
He knocked out Grayson first. Chandler did not know,
And carried the young boy downstairs to the first floor below.
From Santa’s bag out some rope did appear,
And bound Grayson up in a hogtie, with smiles and cheer.
Grayson awoke in time for the tape to stick on his lips;
He was gagged, he was silenced by the one and only St. Nick.
His movements became rapid, quick, and acute.
But his binds were strong. There was no getting loose.
Chandler awoke to a dull ring in his ear.
He scanned the empty room, but Grayson wasn’t near.
Another noise. “Whose there?” he said with a holler.
“Hey Grayson? You there? Hey mother! Hey father!”
Chandler crept through the hall, still wearing his pajamas.
He made his way to the living room, to see Santa causing the drama.
Chandler tried to call for help. He tried to yell or scream,
But Santa is faster than his girth made it seem.
A gloved hand clamped down on his mouth, covering up his lips.
He spoke in Chandler’s ear with an icy-cold hiss.
“You’ve made the bad list this year. It says you were no joy!
“Young Riggs, you’ve both been very naughty boys!”
Chandler struggled, he fought, and he clawed.
He kicked, he curled, he wrestled, he pawed.
But Santa was too strong for the up-and-coming young actor.
Grayson watched helplessly from his hogtied demeanor.
Santa threw him down on the floor, on his stomach he did lay.
Chandler was naughty, and Santa would make him pay!
He tied up his arms, and he tied up his legs.
He hogtied him further despite the pleas and begs.
One final touch was a sock in the mouth.
It puffed out his cheeks and stifled his sounds.
A couple pieces of tape secured the gag in place.
Chandler looked to Grayson, with a distinct fear in his face.
The boys were now bound and successfully gagged.
Santa smiled and laughed, then reached in his bag.
He laughed and cheered, having accomplished his goal.
He left the boys tied up with a little baggie of coal.
The Riggs boys struggled for hours, deep in the night.
They couldn't break free because the ropes were too tight.
Their gags kept them silent; not a sound they could make.
Their only hope was for their parents to wake.
Morning had come, drifting into the afternoon.
The parents still slept, but they would surely be up soon!
They stumbled on down, still tired and wound.
They were surprise to see the “gift” of their precious boys bound!
Mother peeled at the tape, father picked at the ropes,
But their efforts were fruitless, and they began to lose hope.
‘Twas father Christmas’ magic that kept them tied tight.
Gagged into silence, both boys stayed until night.
When Christmas had ended, at the same time he appeared
Santa’s magic bindings had begun to disappear.
Grayson stretched his mouth, and Chandler rubbed his wrists.
The boys learned their lesson to stay off that Naughty List!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
