'Twas the night before Christmas ...

    The thought struck me that we needed our own version of this:


    ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the Lair
    Not a creature was stirring, not even Nerbear.
    The stockings were hung by the fire’s cosy light,
    And Dobby forbidden to touch them that night!

    In hammocks, in blankets, in corners, on ledges,
    From centre of Lair to the very far edges,
    There slumbered the loonies in rows and in groups,
    In singles and pairs, in squads and in troops.

    And right by the fire, heads nodding in sleep,
    Sat Kharn and Orestes, in slumber so deep.
    ‘Doom guarded the door, and Nerin the rafters,
    Bats hung from the roof, mice nibbled the afters.

    And deep in the Lair, where no-one could find him,
    Randy giggled away, where no-one would mind him.
    And Noxcat snoozed quietly back on his cushion,
    No hi-jinks tonight, no shoving, no pushing.

    Then out at the cavemouth there arose such a clatter
    That ‘Doom sprang from his chair to see what was the matter!
    When what to his wondering eye should appear,
    But a glowing red sleigh, and eight merry reindeer.

    With a red-suited driver, so drunken, so pished,
    He could barely just see to read from his list!
    Yet his balance he kept, and his reindeer the same,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:

    “Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
    On, Comet! On, Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!
    To the top of the cave! to the top of the wall!
    Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

    And they dashed, and they staggered, then recovered and flew,
    Straight in by SDooM, and somehow he knew
    That this night he need not pull out his shotgun …
    Not zombies tonight, but presents and fun!

    And thrice round the Lair they circled and danced,
    They shook all the delph as they rattled and pranced.
    And on shelves and on tables as they circled the floor
    Appeared presents and bottles, and chocolates and more.

    And the jolly fat man, who guided the sleigh,
    Was tippling and swaying, and laughing away,
    But ‘Doom heard him shout, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
    "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"



    Anyone else try their hand at nocturnalising some seasonal jingles?

    Politely, of course! (Well ... reasonably! >_>)

    Dashing through the snow
    In The Riggers open sleigh
    O'er the fields we go
    Laughing all the way
    Bells on noxcat tails ring
    Making spirits bright
    What fun it is to laugh and sing
    A slaying song tonight

    Oh, Randy's bells, Randy's bells
    Randy's got taken away
    Oh, what fun it is to hide
    When Dooms about to slay
    Randy's bells, Randy's bells
    Randy's got taken away
    Oh, what fun it is to ride
    on the Riggers open sleigh

    A day or two ago
    Randy thought He'd take a rise
    And soon Miss Orestes
    Was seated by his side
    The horse was lean and lank
    Misfortune seemed his lot
    Into drafted beers we drank
    And then we upshot Randy's bells to his ears so he couldn't even.........

    Oh, Randy's bells, Randy's bells
    Randy's got taken away
    Oh, what fun it is to hide
    When Dooms about to slay
    Randy's bells, Randy's bells
    Randy's got taken away
    Oh, what fun it is to ride
    on The Riggers open sleigh

    Fa la la la la, la la la la.
    so all the lively ones must softly creep
    Fa la la la la, la la la la.
