The Unsuspected Figures of the Holiday Season

A Poem by kbjami

I just learned about Krampus and Perchta and I HAD to write a poem about it. Plus it goes with the Holiday season.

Everyone full of the seasonal cheer
For St. Nick and Christmas Day is near
Warm hearted smiles and intentions exist
While the children do good deeds to be on the list

Oh yes! That list! We hope our name is present
So that of course we could get many nice presents
The start of gifts is here on the 6th of December
Oh St. Nick's Day I'm sure everyone remember

But don't just expect candy or gold in your shoe
For if your naughty a demon might come for you!
Yes, a demon that watches you every dark bell
His name is Krampus and he'll take you straight to Hell!

Oh I'm sure you're not as jolly as you were before
For I'm sure many wish they did their kind chore
But don't worry too much cause I'm sure Hell is rare
But yet there's another demon to beware!

To make sure you behave since the event of Christmas Day
As she works for 12 very long days
But if you're lucky a silver may appear for a good deed
But if you're caught being bad she'll be sure that you bleed!

Her name of Perchta shall frighten those who misbehave
Honestly anyone who can soundly sleep is quite brave
For she'll come quickly and quietly in the dark night
To come slit your belly as soon as you're in sight!
