A shelter’s "The night before Christmas"

"Twas the night before Christmas
Not a sound in the place
Behind all bars of the cages
Was a sad little face

No milk and no cookies
For a jolly old elf
Only needles spelling death
Lined up on a shelf

Each lonely mind thinking
I've been well behaved
Tryed hard to be good
Maybe then I'll be saved

In a cold sterile shelter
The little guys wait
For someone to save them
From a terrible fate

They all have in common
Their sweet little prayer
Is there someone to love me
To hold me and care

How did this happen
Oh what have I done
To deserve this cruel fate
My life's only begun

To cuddle and snuggle
I just need a warm lap
To be so at peace
For a nice little nap

I don't need a lot
Some water and food
On a day that's been tough
I'll lighten your mood

I have so much to give
And know that it's true
I'll love you forever
Bring you sunshine anew

You'll know so much joy
If you take me home
I'll be loyal to you
To stay, never roam

My unconditional love
Will enrich you each day
You'll be so glad you found me
And want me to stay

I need a hero
Just one, to pull through
Come now and adopt me
I'm waiting for you"
