Twas the night before Christmas and all thru Shipperville
In reply to: Kande's Sis 's message, "The crowd gathers up purses and prepares to go to the mall" on 07:13:09 12/22/01 Sat

Not a creature was stirring, not even a tax bill.
The knitting needles were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that Jack Daniels soon would be there.

The aliens nestled all snug in their ships
While versions of abduction stories sang from their lips
Kenamom in her visor and DBTL in her car
Had just settled down for a drink from a jar.

When out in the square there arose such a crash
Bubba jumped in his bed and his nose he did smash
He ran to the window and threw up his eggnog
His face now the color of a swampland frog.

The moon on the breast of the Scully statue
Shone such lustre, Bubba dabbed a tissue
When what to his wandering eyes should appear
But Detoured juggling; what, wasn't clear.

IG was with her, so quick with a pen
Bubba knew in a moment it would involve men
Then Rabid with CW quickly did come
And shouted to all, "Get out here, ya bum!"

Now Detoured, now KS, now DBTL and Kande!
On CW, on Kenamom, on Rabid and IG!
To the square in the town, to the middle of it all!
Come get your present, be it big or small!

Like the cow in Rain King, out they did fly
Over hill, over dale, "Here I come!" they cry
So into the square the residents did arrive
Just in time to see RSR perform, Live!

And then, not to panic, Bubba heard on the roof
Prancing and pawing of what sounded like a hoof
He drew in his head and twirled right around
As Doggett hopped in, head to toe he was bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
Like a bundle of toys he was flung on his back
He looked like a peddler collapsed in his sack.

His eyes - how they sagged! His dimples all a-scrape
His cheeks wet with tears, his nose full of tape
His droll little mouth was gagged with a bow
And the cleft on his chin was hanging quite low.

The stump of a pipe Bubba held with his tooth
As he looked at John Doggett, all cocooned like a phone booth
Bubba had a green face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowl of jello-jelly.

To JD he looked plump and a little bit spiteful
As he grabbed a cheese sandwich and took a big bitefull
Bubba winked his eyes and twisted his head 'round
JD prayed really hard that he soon would be found.

Bubba spoke not a word but went straight to his work
Untying the man who he thought was a jerk
When he was done he touched JD on the nose
Gave him a shove, then struck a fighting pose.

Then sprang to the bar and unlocked the door
In came the townies, "Gimme a drink - make it four!"
Bubba did ponder, as he poured out the drinks,
Merry Christmas to all, he fondly thinks.
