Patter

My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.  Psalm 45:1

As written by a technical writer for a firm that does U.S. government contracting:

 'Twas the nocturnal segment of the diurnal period preceding
the annual Yuletide celebration,
and throughout our place of residence,
kinetic activity was not in evidence among the possessors of
potential,
including that species of domestic rodent known as Mus musculus. . .
