Merry Christmas to All Keep Those Pipes Alight

He was smoking a Dunhill. Had to be Krampus.

Twas the night before Christmas and aboard the black ship

It was too freakin' cold to go for a dip
So we filled the fire barrel with junk mail and cobs

And drank Irish Coffee on a deck freshly swabbed
Our briars were packed with our favorite leaf

A billiard for me, a 904 for the chief
Rosenthal drunkenly sang us a tune

While the rest of us swaggered and howled at the moon
The junk mail and cobs made a flame that did roar

And we looked to the sky as the embers did soar
A cloud passed the moon as I tipped up my flagon

As the moon reemerged, a horse drawn wagon
Appeared in the sky along with a sound

Of jingling bells- I threw my drink down
Surely, I'm hammered, as horses don't fly

Nor drag around wagons way up in the sky
I tapped pappymac and pointed aloft

He pulled off his eye patch as he cursed and scoffed
Mayfair said, "Horses with antlers? Hell, no!

And wagons have wheels, not skids for the snow!"
Embers pulled out the ol' looking glass

And said, "It's a jolly man with a fat ass
Dressed in all red and pulled by reindeer

On a sleigh full of cargo; The whole thing is queer!"
We started to load up the cannons in case

We were assaulted by this freak from space
But, just as we opened the keg of black powder

We heard a man's voice getting closer and louder
"Ho Ho Ho, down below on the river.

I'm no invader. I'm just a gift giver.
I've been watching all of you for the whole year

You're mostly all naughty with the sex and the beer
But I've just left a place that they call D.C.

And by comparison, saints ye all be!"
He made a close pass. He just missed the mast

And onto the deck, a large sack he did cast
It burst open wide and spilled all around

And each of us wondered because we all found
A tin of our favorite weed and a pipe

Exactly like we had been wanting to swipe
As we stuffed our pockets and pipes and rejoiced

We heard again jingle bells and his voice
"Enjoy this reward, but please do recall

There's others around you with nothing at all
Don't be a dick. Be giving to others.

Even if they smoke Carter Hall, They're still brothers." :nana:
Merry Christmas!

:rofl:

That's scary, that sounds like something I would say. :mrgreen:

Yup he's the Frigate's bard, no doubt! :clap:

That's a cute little poem

So thanks for the laugh,

If Kevin needs writers

He should bring you on staff.

Black Frigate gunner/bard.
How do you wish to die, by bullet or ballad?

:rofl:

You outdid yourself with that one JT...well done. I was relieved that the Frigate didn’t end up blasting Santa out of the sky.
