Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring;
Not even a mouse.

Mom was at the whorehouse,
And dad was smoking grass;
I just settled down with a nice piece of arse.

Then out on the lawn, I heard such a clatter.
I sprang from my piece to see what was the matter.
Out on the lawn, I saw a big dick,
And I knew at once it must be St. Nick!

He came down out chimney like a bat out of hell,
And I knew at that moment that the fricker had fell.
He filled our stockings with pretzels and beer,
And a big rubber dick for my brother the queer.

He flew up the chimney with a tremendous fart,
And the son of a bitch blew the thing apart.
He cursed and he swore as he climbed into his sled:
"Merry Christmas to all, and have a helluva night!"

Even truncated your rhyme and meter are shite.

How hard is it to do this proper?

There are apparently very, very few people who understand meter as the driving force in well-written verse. The large majority of would-be wordsmiths seem to believe that all it takes is making words rhyme at the end of a line.

Of course, "meter" to most folks means something attached to the side of the house where the electric power comes in.

'Twas the night before Christmas,
They all try to do,
But their rhymes, mostly shitty,
Their meter is poo,

Their cadence is dung,
Lines not crafted with care,
Yet they still feel it's worthy,
To post and to share,

Well we all know the poem,
It's stuck in our heads,
But their awful homages,
They fill me with dread,

They write with a hatchet,
So clumsy they slap,
Butchered stanzas haphazard,
So they turn out like crap,

Internal rhymes witless,
their barbs even flatter,
They'll poorly inject,
Trite political patter,

And some don't even try,
For consistence, it's clear,
As they mangle the verse,
Through the whole goddang year.
