Default Corvette Christmas

Hope it's not repeat.

Corvette Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and in the

garage,
There wasn't a trace of a Ford or a Dodge.
The presents were

wrapped and the lights were all lit,
So I figured I'd mess with the Corvette

for a bit.

I popped the release and I lifted the hood,
When a

deep voice behind me said "looks pretty good."
Well, as you can imagine, I

turned mighty quick,
And there, by the workbench, stood good old Saint

Nick!

We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say,
Then he

said "don't suppose that you'd trade for my sleigh?
I said "no way, Santa"

and started to grin,
"But if you've got the time we could go for a

spin!"

His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow,
Turned

into a smile and he said "Hey! Let's go!!"
So as not to disturb all the

neighbors retreat,
We pushed the Corvette quietly into the

street,

Then, taking our places to drift down the hill,
I turned

on the key and I let the clutch spill.
The sound that erupted took him by

surprise,
But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes.

With

Goodyears a cryin and side pipes aglow,
We headed on out to where the hot

rodders go.
And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears,
With every

shift up as I went through the gears.

Then he yelled, "can't recall

when I've felt so alive!"
So I backed off the gas and said, "you wanna

drive?"
Old Santa was stunned when I tossed him the keys,
When he walked

past the headlights he shook at the knees!

Then the small block

exploded with side exhaust sound!
Santa let out the clutch and the tires

shook the ground!
Power shift into second, again into third!
I sat there

just watching, at loss for a word,

Then I heard him exclaim as we

blasted from sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, it's a hell of a night!!!"


Merry Christmas to all...

Thanks for all the help and entertainment.
