'Twas the night before the Christmas Demo, with snow on the trees,
Not a person was stirring, well, all except me.
My belt was in the closet, set there with care,
All ready for tommorow, which soon would be there.
Not sleeping, I tossed, not snug in my bed,
While visions of Taekwon-Do danced in my head.
Being too excited, I just could not sleep,
I wanted to shout and give a happy leap!
I had to wait a long night and a day,
Before we'd be in the car and up and away,
Headed to the Christmas Demo in cheer,
Well, at least I didn't have to wait a whole year!
I picked up a book, but still stayed awake,
Because reading the Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do was a mistake.
Who could doze off when, instead of a yawn,
You just want to do Gae-Baek and Po-Eum?
Who would be the winners of trophies this year?
Could you jump a chair and break a board wihout fear?
Would your ho sin sul be the hit of the night?
If only I could spar right now, I want to fight!
And when I lay on my pillow, instead of sinking deep,
I visioned myself breaking boards with my feet.
But what if it snowed, too much to leave?
Well, I'd shovel it all, I'd roll up my sleeves,
And get it all done before 5:00 PM sharp,
I'd figure a way, I'd find something smart.
It was late, I discovered, when I looked at a clock,
But the time was nothing compared with my desire to block,
Or kick or jump or break or punch,
But at this rate, I'd stay up 'till tommorow's lunch!
I shut off the lights and covered my head,
And tried to get cozy in my tall metal bed.
I don't know when it happened, my sleep had to be a trick!
But that didn't stop me from dreaming
of jumping front kicks.
This is my poem called 'Twas the Night Before the Christmas Demo.'
The 15th- that's in only like four days!!!
Also, the Red and Black Belt class is tommorow- our last practice before the Christmas Demo. Be sure to come, everyone!
See you soon!
