Twas the night before...

Twas the night before our remodel began
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Our possessions were packed by the chimney with care
Knowing that Schroeder Design/Build soon would be there

The children were eager to see their new beds (room)
While visions of hammers danced in their heads
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap
Had just settled down for our last quiet nap

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash

The morning sun rose and started to show
All the construction commotion below
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
A Bobcat machine that was almost in gear

With the driver so lively and calm
I knew in a moment it had to be Don
More rapid than eagles his field staff, they came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name
Now Thomas! Now David! Now Keith and Jerome
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
Let’s show them what we got, demolish away all!
