'Twas the night that was Myth Night |
'Twas the night before Christmas |
'Twas the night that was Myth Night, and all through the house |
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house |
The Zerks were all nestled right next to undead, |
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, |
When off in the distance arose such a clatter, |
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, |
The sight of the fight in the Trow-trodden snow |
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow |
With that Trow near the Ball - so fast and so tricky, |
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, |
Then my spy found his Archers, three Dorfs and two JMen! |
"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN! |
I knew then that I'd have to rely on my spy, |
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, |
And then, in a twinkling, I heard "CA-SUAL-TIES", |
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof |
I was thinking "oh #$%&!!" as he sprung his surpise, |
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, |
The skys - how they twinkled! Fire Arrows - so scary! |
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! |
(If you'd laid odds on NKI, it would seem a safe bet, |
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, |
'Midst a rain of Pus Packets, and Warriors clashing, |
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, |
Yes the Bacon was Launched - but stayed tauntingly gray, |
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, |
It was "one for the books" - perhaps "Game of the Year"! |
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, |

I truly care for your health |
