Jest ‘fore Christmas

"Jest 'fore Christmas" is a humorous poem narrated by a spirited young boy named Bill, who freely admits to chasing the cat with his dog, hooking rides on grocery carts, and dodging the castor oil—yet transforms into a model of politeness the moment Christmas approaches. The delicious irony is that even his father, having once been a boy himself, sees right through the act. Full of vivid dialect and boyish energy, the poem captures the gap between everyday mischief and the strategic good behaviour that December mysteriously inspires.
