I Think We Know Which List He’s On

Twas two weeks before Christmas, when throughout our lovely abode,
All were sleeping, while wee-one filled the dishwasher with an odd load.
The dishes had been placed in the dishwasher with care,
Then topped off with stuff, until not a spot was bare.

His Mom and Dad were nestled all snug in our bed,
While visions of peace and solitude danced in our heads.
Then down in the kitchen there arose such a clatter,
Dave sprang from our bed to see what was the matter.

To the top of the stairs I flew like a flash,
Then down to the kitchen to see it was TRASHED!
As I blinked to bring my eyes into focus,
I was surprised at whose antics had woke us.

I gazed at the appliance that now held an odd kind of soup,
I knew in a moment the chef was named “Coop”
He named each item aloud, and in the dishwasher they went,
All of his prized ingredients.

“In Oven Mitts, in Apples, and Bananas, in Office Supplies!”
“In Home Phone, and Cell Phone”, I heard his excited cries.
“Now Medical Gloves and Tubing,  Spices still stuck in the Spice Rack!”
Then in went Garlic Powder, and the container, and he didn’t look back.

Lots of Organic Cocoa, some Powdered Green Drink and their containers, sprinkled near and far,
The canister of flour, the sprinkled Pepper (and of course,  its jar).

In went some important papers, a bottle of hand soap– actually, two.
Then a large bottle of dish-washing soap was tossed in on cue.
A Baseball display case: in the bloated appliance it went!
Finally, he pushed the start button to complete his naughty experiment.

We rounded the corner and he knew he had been caught,
but not before he terrorized our beloved coffee pot!
