'Twas the Night Before Christmas: Finalist #1




Yesterday, Governing announced the winner of our government-holiday poem contest. Today, we'll publish the other finalists throughout the day. To start us off, finalist #1 is NanaZ from a child protection agency in a major city:

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
The clients were hiding
All quiet as a mouse
Boyfriends in closets
And Mommies in trees
Kids gone to grandma
Quiet as you please

About

Written and compiled by staff writers and editors, GOVERNING View is an on-the-ground, and sometimes behind-the-scenes, look at the topics we're covering in print and online. From notes on what's up in statehouses, county courthouses and city halls, to encounters with people, places and things, GOVERNING View is a window into the side of state and local government you don't always see.
