B is for Bigfoot - Just in Time for St. Nick!

Before St. Nicholas Arrived
Twas the night before publishing our magical ABC book.
We’d gathered the creatures, we thought we were off the hook.
A crash and a splash, then all was a-clatter.
I sprang from my computer to see what was the matter.

Bigfoot had stepped on the vampire's toe,
who changed to a bat causing a big row. 
The lamp tipped over in a flash when the thunderbird landed.
The sea monster filled up the tub single handed.

I looked at my friend Matt & he shrugged despondently saying,
“Suz, it was a good idea, but look at this mess from their playing!"
“It’ll be okay,” I responded tossing him some sugarplums sweet
and we rounded up creatures, “Wait 'til the kids they get to meet!"

The pages from the friendly book started to glow.
The jinn gave a nod, and the phoenix flew low.
The werewolf jumped in with a side glance and wink,
The kraken made a splash right there in the ink.

One after another they snuggled into their pages,
these wonderful creatures from out of the ages.
Beeps from the robot, a dragony hiss.
This was certainly an ABC book not to miss!

As we prepared to share the book links with you.
We think when you read it you’ll be glad you took kung foo!
Suddenly a cold chill came as the yuki-onna breezed in
and together at last all the creatures settled in.

Creatures with feathers, fur, and fins came quite quick
The howling and hooting—calming down just in time for St. Nick.
