The Night of the Krampus

Krampus Arrives on December 24th

Twas the night of the Krampus, when all through the house

Creatures were stirring, especially a mouse.

The stocking were hung by the chimney with care,

Hoping St. Nicholas would be there.

Only St. Nick did not show,

But the children did know

That the Krampus would appear

Draining their cheer.

Up on the roof, the children did hear

That the Krampus would soon be here.

With a sleigh full of toys 

Making such a noise.

Only these toys did not want to play.

They wanted you to pay.

As Krampus sent them down the chimney,

The lights grew dimly.

And just like that, the power cut out.

The only thing you heard was the toys roaming, no doubt.

As you lay snug in your bed,

The next thing you'll see is red.

The toys will attack

And you will be their snack.

If you happen to survive them,

Then the elves will not be a gem.

They will drag you to him

And your fate will be grim.

He will drag you to Hell

At the chime of a bell.

To punish you for being naughty this year.

Just remember, Krampus is near.
