- I saw this on rec.humor.d this afternoon:
-
-
- TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
-
- 'Twas the night before Christmas
- And all through the house,
- Things were real mellow...
- Even Irving, the Mouse.
-
- Our boots were hung up,
- The incense was lit,
- In hope that St. Nick
- Would soon do his bit.
-
- The tree was decked out;
- It was really a sight,
- With love beads and flowers
- And a flashing strobe light.
-
- Wearing my T-shirt
- From Woodstock Nation,
- I was getting into
- some good meditation.
-
- And my chick was doing some yoga in bed,
- munching a fruit cake,
- While propped on her head.
-
- Then...pow!!...in the night...
- ...a hullabaloo!
- It shook the waterbed
- And woke up old Blue.
-
- I stumbled around
- And tripped on my beard.
- It stuck to my toes
- And felt really wierd.
-
- When I got to the window,
- I was really uptight,
- 'cause the scene I perceived
- Was a mind blowing sight!
-
- What through my shades
- Did I see through the snow,
- But eight tiny mooses
- And a wild U.F.O.!
-
- With this hip dude inside,
- Looking kinky and groovy...
- I flashed..."If this ain't Nick
- It must be the late movie."
-
- They blew in from the cosmos
- Like some far-out caboose
- And this fat cat kept yelling
- At each midget moose:
-
- "Right on, Dasher! On, Dancer!
- GET IT ON...DO YOUR THING.
- Get your bods in high gear, now,
- And move this machine!"
-
- Then onto the roof
- They flew with a shout,
- The whole Cosmic Crew
- Really freaked me out!
-
- They caused such a hassle
- And made such a fuss,
- I thought someone would call
- The fuzz down on us.
-
- But before I could say, "COOL IT!...
- HOLD DOWN THAT LOUD JIVE,"
- Nick zapped toward the chimney
- And leaped in with a dive!
-
- As he trucked from the fireplace,
- His smile all agleam,
- I thought, "ITS UNREAL!
- It must be a dream!"
-
- Then he nodded and said,
- "This isn't a bummer...
- Like, I've come in peace,
- To groove my Yule Number."
-
- His duds were all fur,
- Trimmed in leather and such
- And he came on stone funky...
- ...he was really too much.
-
- His back pack was painted
- With black light festoon,
- Full of albums and posters
- And a neon balloon.
-
- His eyes, a light show!
- His beard, day-glo bright!
- A plastic, fantastic,
- Kaleidoscope sight!
-
- He looked like a guru,
- This beautiful cat...
- ...I thought, like, wow!
- ...This dude knows where its at!
-
- "Don't want to sound heavy,"
- He said with a grin,
- "My message is simple
- So dig it, tune in."
-
- "I brought you some goodies,
- But that's not the thing.
- My real trip is bringing
- Good vibes to this scene."
-
- So we rapped until dawn
- About Peace, Love and Truth,
- Then he said, "Gotta split, now,
- Or I'll be late in Duluth."
-
- He wiggled his nose and said,
- "I did my bit"
- And straight up the smoke hole
- This fat cat did split!
-
- As he sped from the roof
- And into the air,
- He shouted, "Let's get it together,
- All you people down there!"
-
- "Merry Christmas To All
- And to all a Good Night!"
- And then in a flash,
- He streaked outta sight!
-
-
- Happy Holidays!
