   Holiday Bowling

Twas the night before XMAS
And all throughout the shop
Not a kegler was stirring
Not even a pop

All nestled in bed
With dreams of the perfect shot
They hoped St. Nick
Gave them a ball that was hot

But St. Nick was standing there
Just dazed and confused
With all this new equipment
He didnt know what to do

Whats Brunswick doing
With so many balls on the rack
The Zones are a bit much
As all the Elites by Track

The game is turning into golf
You get a new ball to adjust
But with the market so flooded
Half the balls are a bust

He looked at his list
With a sneer on his face
Like the Omega Lion
This is simply a disgrace.

AMF stock is down
Walter Rays a bore
And whats with Columbia
And their Titanium core?

Take the game by Storm?
Or Webb and his RX?
Glow in the dark balls?
Who needs those damn effects?

Faball or Hammer
Whats that companys name?
The hell with this science
Bowlings just a game

A Quantum Helix
Thats kinda catchy
Then he saw the price of it
Holy shit is that pricey!

But Nick looked over
Saw the keglers sleeping in bed
And knew if he didnt get them what they want
He was simply going to be dead.

Ever so quietly
He dropped a ball in each stocking
He glanced at his watch
It was getting close to morning!

On Roth!  On Anthony!
Lets go watch some Seinfeld
Because Im going to be sick
If I see another ad with Jeremy Sonnenfeld.

And off he went
With his Dexters over his shoulder
He opened the door and said
Oy!  Its getting colder!

The bowlers woke up
And were they shocked to discover
That Ol St. Nick
Left them each a Manhattan Rubber

Have a happy holiday!

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BOWLER'S XMAS... PART II
BY MARC STERN (mityquackr@aol.com)

'twas the night before XMAS
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse

As Santa climbed down the chimney
And hit the creaky floor
His eyes were wide with fright
"Oh shit, I've been here before."

"This is where the bowlers live
"Who whine more than Gore."
He whipped out his Palm Pilot
And nicknamed this house as "The Ball Whore"

"These people are never happy
"No matter what they get"
Santa slowly realized
This year his match may have been met

The elves, yes the elves!
They prepared him this year!
They loaded Santa with the latest and greatest
And out went Santa's fear!

Santa scratched his beard
He sucked in his gut
He looked in his bag
And said "I'm fucked."

Brunswick Rhinos?
Columbia Cudas?
What St. Nick wouldn't give right now
For a trip to Bermuda

Those stinkin' elves
Set Santa up for a fall
The bowlers would be coming for Santa's head
'cause heaven knows that they have the gall

He looked at his Palm Pilot
Hoping to find a clue
But he should have known better
That his membership was overdue

He knows how to get out of this
The answer was in his pocket
He whipped out the cell phone
And called up Codename: Rocket

"It's Nick, I'm in a jam"
He said into the phone
"If you don't help me soon
"They'll tear me to my bones"

But help did not arrive in time
The bowlers knew Santa by sight
They smiled and said to Santa's surprise
"Hey Nick, it's all right."

"We know it's confusing
"And at times it's downright mean
"50 billion bowling balls being released
"And most of them are by theme"

"Track thinks they're the mafia
"With balls like 'Silencer' and 'Assassin'
"Put any dangerous situation in front of 'Zone'
"Is what Brunswick's a thinkin'"

"Storm has their scratch and sniff
"Which is all fine and dandy
"But enough of the fruit crap
"We want ones that smells like candy."

"Hammer's going retro
"Going back to the offset and the 'thane"
"Hey Nick, get them to make a ball that works
"We're not entirely vain."

"Ebonite's got so many lines
"It's hard to keep track
"But like most of their products
"They eventually wind up on the rack."

"AMF stock is still down
Despite their Nighthawk line
Hey Nick, can you do me favor?
Increase their value so I can make a dime?"

"Columbia's got the new Rock line
What's up with that
Is their logo the People's Champ?
Or Fred Flinstone with a hard hat?"

St. Nick looked and smiled
Hoping for a chance to escape
He was hoping The Rocket would appear
When it's not too late.

There was a tap at the window
But the bowlers realized that it was not an angel from heaven 
It was Codename: Rocket, 
Or Rudolph with an AK-47

"Hey Santa, let's go all ready"
Rudolph said with a gleam
"I'm sure none of these guys
"Want to take one for the team."

"Why, Santa, why?"
Asked a bowler as Santa headed up the chimney
"Whatever happened to the times
"When all you wanted was some milk and a cookie?"

Old St. Nick looked at Alan
And whispered something into his ear
"Hey, forget the old times, will ya?
"All I want is an ice cold beer."

"No one wants a toy train any more
"And you whores are the worst
"If I hear you complain any more
"My web site's going to burst."

"Everyone wants the times to change
"And they want their games to improve
"None of you want to do the basics
"And learn how to move."

"That is my gift to this house
"During this festive time
"Go back to basics
"And I'll guarantee the front 9"

Up the chimney
Ol' St. Nick went
But the bowlers below
Were extremely bent

Santa looked at his list
And something grabbed his attention
"Let's get to Florida
"And fix that damn election."

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BOWLER'S XMAS... PART III
BY MARC STERN / MityQuackr@aol.com


'twas the night before XMAS
And all through the house
Not a bowler was stirring
Not even the louse

All dreaming of walled shots
And shooting the honor score
Where they would become a legend
And become a mystical piece of folklore

They wrote to Santa Claus
Looking for the ball to help them on their way
Heaven forbid if they improve their skill
Why earn if they nearly have to pay

St. Nick ran his hand through his beard
And he took a puff out of his pipe
He eyed through the list
And his hand against his head did he wipe

"It gets crazier every year"
Santa said with disgust
"They all want new bowling balls
"Yet their game is still bust."

"Is AMF still in business?
"What is the deal?
"Can someone please call Faball?
"And get rid of that darn Wheel?"

"Quantum is no longer around
"Brunswick cut their staff which is ashame
"Does Columbia think they're into wrestling
"With names like 'The Rock' and 'The Game'?"

"Storm still stinks
"And I mean that literally
"What happened to Manhattan Rubber?
"That's what I used when I was thirty."

"Track is no longer on the Mafia kick
"But now they are with EMB
"NuLine is a separate company
"But they're both the same to me"

"The Optyx by Ebonite
"That's kinda catchy"
Then he looked away in disgust
"Shit, is that pricey!"

Santa's eyes lit up
"The 'Elixir' is a neat little name"
But his happiness quickly faded
"Forget it, it's made by Dynothane"

"Who are Morich and Rotogrip?
"Are they even for real
"As my friend Hanukah Harry says
" 'Vaht's the deal?'"

He looked around
With his trophies on the mantle
He knew that compared to him
These bowlers couldn't hold a candle.

He powered on his PC
And loaded MS Word
Not that he disliked Macs
But this was all he could afford

"Dear whiney bowler,"
Santa started typing
"Listen to what I have to say
"'Cause I'm tired of hearing your whining"

"You get better with practice
"Despite what the ball claims say
"Why do you need a ball that hooks 30 boards
"When up 10 is all you normally play?"

"Just because the ball hits the 1-3
"Or the 1-2 if you are a lefty
"It doesn't always mean
"In Frame 1 it says '30'"

"Not everyone can average a deuce
"Let's make that loud and clear
"Some bowlers were meant to strike
"Others to keep drinking beer."

"Learn to read the angle
"Learn to feel your release
"Once you got that down
"Your game will be at peace."

Santa saved the file
Then sent it to his printer
He copied it to his web page
Which his elves made for him this winter

So no matter your religion
Whether you're Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, or Jew
The pins don't know the difference
So a 300 game I wish on to you.

Subject: Night Before Christmas for RSB 
Newsgroups: rec.sport.boxing

  This is something I wrote last year on RSB and I wouldn't 
  bother with it again but, damned if it's not Christmas yet again.
  Anyway, hope some of you who missed it might enjoy something light to read.

Twas the night before Christmas
throughout boxing land.
With the elves still debating
Leonard-Duran.

I'd just settled in with
a cup of egg nog
fired up my computer,
and checked my mail log,

When a voice in my head,
Yeah, I hear them, you see,
said, "Jump to the newsgroups
and check RSB."

The debating, berating,
"I know more than you!"
the timeless old question of,
"Who could  beat who?"

The trollers and strollers,
and resident scribes,
like glitter and lights,
on a tree made of jibes.

"Is Roy Jones a coward?"
"Was Ali the best?"
"Can Tyson, the nut case,
give Lewis a test?"

Through this jumble and tumble
of "maybe, who knows?"
From the roof of my house,
a clatter arose.

And I ran to the window,
to see what's amiss,
when I saw such a site,
that I gave up Old Mist.

There a fat, jolly fellow,
Butterbean all in red?
Was driving a heap,
that I took for a sled.

And the creatures that pulled it,
reindeer I suppose,
Were led by a  moose,
with a glowing red nose.

And he called out loudly,
as he took up the reigns,
"Get pulling this wagon,
for I beat out your brains!

On Tyson, and Lewis,
pull Hamed, you lout!
You're slacking there, Mosely,
don't make me get out!

On Vargas and Tito,
quit bickering, you two,
or I'll show you some more of
the toe of my shoe!

And Roy quit begging,
to move down the line,
You'll pull where I put you,
so give up the whine.

Now Andrew, you lummox,
don't think you can quit,
we've gifts to deliver,
so get over it."

And they slid from the roof,
in a dazzle of snow,
and I thought sure they'd crash,
on the street far below.

But the sled-thing went upwards,
like the hair on King's head,
and the reindeer with odd names,
and the moose with nose red.

They flew away skyward,
with the grace of duck,
broke TV antennas,
grazed the top of a truck,

and I swore that I heard,
for they lumbered from sight,
"Merry Christmas to all .
quit biting, there, Mike!"

Merry Christmas

  It's almost Christmas, so I thought I'd update and repost my version of The
  Night Before Christmas for those who weren't here on RSB last year.

Twas the night before Christmas
throughout boxing land.
With the elves still debating
Leonard-Duran.

I'd just settled in with

"Will Jones fight Ruiz?"
"Was Ali the best?"
"Can Tyson in rematch,
give Lewis a test?"

Through this jumble and tumble

On Arum and King,
quit bickering, you two,
or I'll show you some more of
the toe of my shoe!

And Roy quit complaining,
about all the freight,
your alphabet straps,
make up half the weight.

Now Tito and Hamed,
don't think you can quit,
we've gifts to deliver,
so get over it.

Quit butting, Evander,
Ruiz, don't you clinch,
or it's back to Whoville
to pull for the Grinch."

And they slid from the roof,
in a dazzle of snow,

Fill in the blanks with the names you think most appropriate.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the theater
Not a person was stirring, not even the heater
The movie goers were all watching the screen with care
In hopes that Meet Joe Black would soon be playing there

The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While mama had visions other than sugar plums in her head
They shuffled and shifted, waiting for the film
Had just settled in, as the lights began to dim

When out in the lobby, there arouse such a clatter
We sprang from our seats to see what was the matter
Away to the exit we flew like a flash
Tore through the crowds and let out a gasp

The lights of the marquee were aglow
And reflected off the limo parked below
When what to our wondering eyes should appear
But Brad Pitt, on my dear!!
Our unbelieving eyes didn't blink, but our hearts raced
We let out a yell and picked up the pace

More rapid than eagles, his fans they came
They whistled and shouted and called out his name
Oh Brad, over here, NO--NOT THERE, Over HERE!!
On Nikes, on Reeboks, on spike heels they raced from the rear

To the front of the lobby,   pushing along the wall
Now get out of my way!  Out of my way , all!!
Now through the aisles, along the concessions
And even over ushers, we made quite a procession
So up to the main entrance, the fans they flew
With scraps of paper, ever closer they drew

And in a twinkling, a mob did appear
The scrabbling and skittering of each high heel, I did hear
As we approached, I heard the oohs and aahhs
Down the aisle he came, to a round of applause

He was dressed all in black, from his head to his feet
We swear our hearts all skipped a beat
If he wanted female companionship there sure wasn't a lack
And there was ___________&___________, leading the pack!

His eyes how they twinkled, his hair how golden
And we all pictured how it would be, if it was us he was holding
The yelling, the shouting, it was unending
You see, he looked just like an angel descending
His eyes how they twinkled, his smile so lazy
One and all, we were going crazy
His mouth so kissable
It was damn near irresistible

There were a few in the crowd who wanted to sink in their teeth
And lo and behold there was Lynda, encircling him like a wreath!

He had a legion of fans and very little space
A lot longing for a little face to face
There was __________&_________, and even an elf
They didn't matter, I wanted him for myself!
With a wink of his eye, and a twist of his head
I had visions of him, filling my bed!!

He spoke not a word, but posed for a pic
He signed a few autographs, and the clock gave a tick
Then waving to the crowd, he turned to go
We yelled, "Please! Say it isn't so!"
He sprang into his limo, the crowd gave a bound
And started chasing it like racing greyhounds
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!

1823: The poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement C. Moore
  ("T'was the night before Christmas...") was published anonymously
  in the Troy (N.Y.) Sentinel.
 In the spirit of that, here's my version,

       The Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the group
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Nosmo;
The sausages were hung in the kitchen with care,
In hopes that Dr. Strange,Love soon would be there;
The froupies were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of 2 eggs danced in their heads;
And Vivanne in her Doc Martens, and Luc with her cake,
Had just settled down for a nice cuppa tea,

When out on the net there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the chair to see what was the matter.
Away to the server I flew like a flash,
Signed on real quick and down-loaded the stash.

The moon on the breast of the newly-plucked hen
Gave the lustre of roasting to the grits below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature Fry-pan, and eight tiny potatoes,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Reverend Shadow
More rapid than eagles her coursers they came,
And she whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, NIMROD! now, SPUDDIE! now, KLUTECATE and LILPEACH!
On, BATCH! on NEVYN! on, MOLESWORTH and MUDZ!
To the top of the chair! to the top of the wall!
Now bake away! fry away! grill away all!"

As dried Weetabix that before the wild Humbug fly,
When they meet with an milk jug, mush to the side,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the pan full of sausages, and Dr. Strange,Love too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard by the sink
The sizzling and popping of each greasy link.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Through the caf door Dr. Strange,Love came with a bound.
He was dressed all in Leather, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all soiled with grease and eggy-soot;
A bundle of food he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were well-fondled, his ***** like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a arse-candle he held tight in his *****,
And the smoke it encircled his waist like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a Bazful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And ate all the breakfast; that hungry old jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
He shouted "Yer Momma" and up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his pan, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"HAPPY BREAKFAST TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"

Merry Christmas everyone

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all cross the land
Brett Meisner was winning, exactly as planned;
The losers who were jealous, now knew he was right,
Even the homos became less uptight;

As Meisner was nestled in a King-sized bed,
Three strippers from Crazy Girls were giving him head;
A knock on the door prompted a call of "Who is it?,"
As Gregg Allman arrived for his holiday visit.

Soon out in the Hall, appeared a large crowd,
The hotel staff complained, as we were too loud!;
The party just starting, Gregg called up Slash,
I invited more girls, and Slash cranked up the Clash.

The headlights from Sunset filled the room with a glow,
As Gregg and Slash talked, "jacked up" on blow.
And thru the valet parking, there arrived a large Hearst;
And out from the car stepped rocker Fred Durst!

As the Hearst parked, out stepped some whores,
Strippers from New York, mostly from Scores;
And in the backseat we spied David Spade,
Begging the girls for a chance to get laid!

"Hey Cindy, Hey Chloe, Hey Amber, Hey Beth," 
David Spade screamed from the car at the top of his breath;
"I'll give you drugs, I just need a honey'"
"I'm so desperate for love, I'll even pay money!"

The whores they just laughed, they couldn't stand Spade,
They mocked his fake hairdo and said he "was played!"
They wanted Brett Meisner, that was a must,
Their crotches so sweaty, ready for lust!

So there is the lobby, stood this gaggle of chicks,
Ready for celebrities with large famous dicks;
They chanted for "MEISNER!" as they stomped on the floor,
They flashed their "hay nanny nannies" toward Brett's penthouse door.

He was dressed to the nines as the doors opened wide,
Brett walked into the lobby with a "rock star" stride;
His fans and the whores they yelled out his name,
Some of them fainted, most of them came!

Brett's shades looked way cool, his hair looked just right,
Dressed like a model, with those jeans oh so tight!
With a "Rock Star" face that few could resist,
Brett soon lost count of all the chicks he had kissed.

Brett moved thought the crowd and pushed them aside,
He waited for Tommy Lee and their oncoming ride.
"Off to the Viper Room!" Brett would command,
As he and his crew stalked out the next band.

As they moved down the strip nearing the bar,
Some homeless men approached, surrounding their car.
"Give me a dollar!" shouted an angry Negro fellow,
As Brett and his crew became much less than mellow.

Brett jumped from his ride, feeling quite frisky,
He approached the Negro man - Dude that was risky!
"Do you mean us harm?" Brett needed to ask.
The black dude just shrugged and pulled on his flask.

Brett looked at the black man and then he looked at the moon,
He thought about Gregg Allman and those in his room.
He thought about Christmas and the holiday season; 
And then he said "fuck it!" Serious. You guys can blow me.

Short Title: Bronx

   The night before Christmas...... (An ex-Nutworks twisted tale)

'Twas the night before Christmas, an all through the block,
Not a creature was stirring, not even Ed Kotch.
The stockings were hung, by the furnace with care.
In hopes that by morning, they'd all still be there.

Me an this skank, were just getting ready for bed.
I wore pajamas, she had a paper bag for her head.
When up on the roof, I heard a big crash,
I thought it was a burglar, I was gonna kick ass!

I went out on the fire escape, looked up in the sky,
An what did I see, but this freakin fat guy!
With a red suit and boots, that came up to his knees,
In the moonlight he looked, just like Dom DeLouise.

He had a big sled, being pulled by reindeer.
He called one of them Dancer, so I assumed he was queer.
As he crept off the roof, it became clear to me,
That this guy was lookin, to steal my TV!

Over his shoulder, he had a big sack.
He came down the stairs, while I planned my attack.
I waited a second, till the time it seemed ripe.
Bopped him on the head, * botta bing * with a pipe!

He fell to the floor, with a groan and a thud.
I was kinda surprised, that I didn't see blood.
Instead he rolled over, looked me in the eye.
When I saw who I'd hit, I near started to cry.

I said "Hey 'yo Santa, I'm sorry all right?"
"Not for nuttin" he said, "but this just ain't my night!"
"I got lost in the Bronx, ran over some Nuns."
"Had a near miss by Kennedy, Rudolf's got the runs..."

"I'm out all freakin night, I'm bustin my hump."
"But I can't finish now, not with this lump!"
"So do me a favor, and be a real pal."
"Take over for me...be Santa Sal."

I say 'Yo! I'm from Brooklyn, I ain't right for the part.
But he says that Santa Claus, comes from the heart.
He made me a offer, I couldn't refuse.
Stop at every house....except for the Jews!

I got into the suit, jumped onto the sleigh,
Wondering just why it was, reindeer smelled that way.
Took off on my mission, didn't want to be late.
While old Nick spent the night, hosin' my date.

That night I was Santa, bringing kids joy and bliss.
And if you don't believe that...hey, jingle dis!
Since then I been with him, each year in the cold.
Riding shotgun with Santa, 'cause he's fat, and he's old.

I'm his number one helper, I been deputized.
So on this Christmas Eve, don't you be surprised.
If you hear a voice say, real loud and abrupt.
"Merry Christmas to all, thanks alot...eh - shutup!"

When up on da roof
I heard dis big crash
Thoughy it was burgular
I was gonna kick ass

I went out on da firescape
Looked up in da sky
And what did I see
Dis freakin fat guy

Wit a red suit and boots
Dat came up to his knees
In da moonlight he looked
Just like Dom Deluise

He had a big sled
Pulled by deese reindeer
He called one of them dancer
So I assumed he was queer

As he crept off the roof
It became clear to me
Dat dis guy was looking
To steal my TV

Over his shoulder
He had a big sack
He came down the stairs
as I planned my attack

I waited a second
Until the time had seem ripe
Smacked him in da head
Badda-bing wit a pipe

He fell to the floor
Wit a groan and a tud
I was kinda surprised
Dat I didnt see blood

Instead, he rolled over
looked me in da eye
When i seen whod I d hit
I near started to cry

I said  "yo santa ,,
 I'm sorry alright?
Not for nuttin he said
"But this aint my night"

I got lost in da Bronx,
I ran over some nuns,
Had a near miss by kennedy,
Rudolph's got da runs

I'm out all freakin night
Bustin my hump
But I cant continue now
Not wit dis bump

So do me a favor
and be a real pal
Take over for me
and be Santa, Sal

I said, "yo i'm from brooklyn
I aint right for da part"
But he said bein Santa
comes from da heart

He made me an offer
I couldnt refuse
Stop at every house..........
'cept for da  JEWS

I got into da suit
and stepped onto the sleigh
Wondering just why reindeer
smelled dat way

Took off on my mission
Didnt wanna be late
While ol St Nick spended the night
Hosin my date

Dat night I was Santa
Bringin kids joy and bliss
And if you dont believe me
Then hey, JINGLE DIS

Since then i've been wit him
Each year in da cold
Ridin shotgun wit Santa
Cause he's fat and he's old

I'm his number one helper
I've been deputized....
So on dis Christmas eve
Don't youse be surprised

If you hear a voice say
Real loud and abrupt
Merry Christmas to all
Thanks alot-- Shut up!!!

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS -
      BROOKLYN VERSION

'Twas the night before Christmas,
Da whole house was mellow,
Not a creature was stirrin',
I had a gun unda my pillow.

When up on da roof'
I heard somethin' pound,
I sprung to da window,
To scream, "YO! Keep it down!"

When what to my Wanderin'
eyes should appear,
But dat hairy elf Vinny,
And eight friggin' reindeer.

Wit' a bad hackin' cough,
And da stencha burped beer,
I knew in a moment
Yo, da Kringle wuz here!

Wit' a slap to dere snouts,
And a yank on dere manes,
He cursed and he shouted,
And he called dem by name.

"Yo Tony, Yo Frankie,
Yo Sally, Yo Vito,
Ay Joey, Ay Paulie,
Ay Pepe, Ay Guido!"

As I drew out my gun
And hid by da bed,
Down came his boot
On da top a my head.

His eyes were all bloodshot,
His b.o. wuz scary,
His breath wuz like sewage,
He had a mole dat wuz hairy.

He spit in my eye,
And he twisted my head,
He soon let me know
I should consider myself dead.

Den pointin' a fat finga
Right unda my nose,
He let out some gas,
And up da chimney he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh,
.....screaming,
And away dey all flew,
Before he troo dem a beatin'.

But I heard him exclaim,
Or better yet grump,
"Merry Christmas to all, and
Bite me, ya hump!"

'Twas the night before Christmas,
Da whole house was mella,
Not a creature was stirrin',
Cuz I had a gun unda da pilla.

When up on da roof
I heard somethin' pound,
I sprung to da winda,
To scream, "YO! Keep it down!"

When what to my 
Wanderin' eyes should appear,
But da Don of all elfs,
And eight friggin' reindeer!

Wit' slicked back black hair,
And a silk red suit,
don Christopher wuz here,
And he brought da loot!

Wit' a slap to dare snouts,
And a yank on dare manes,
He cursed and he shouted,
And he called dem by name.

"Yo Tony, Yo Frankie,
Yo Vinny, Yo Vito,
Ay Joey, Ay Paulie,
Ay Pepe, Ay Guido!"

As I drew out my gun
And hid by da bed,
He flew troo da winda
And slapped me 'side da head.

"What da hell you doin'
Pullin' a gun on da Don?
Now all you're gettin' is coal,
You friggin' moron!"

Den pointin' a fat finga
Right unda my nose,
He twisted his pinky ring,
And up da chimney he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh,
Obscenities screamin',
Away dey all flew,
Before he troo dem a beatin'.

Den I heard him yell out,
What I did least expect,
"Merry Friggin' Christmas to all,
And yous better show some respect!"

Sal Monella's "Night Before Christmas in Brooklyn" 
     by Rob Bartlett

(Note:  This is the "live in concert" version.  The on-air
version varies slightly in the 1st verse.)  To be recited in a
strong Brooklyn dialect.

Twas the night before Christmas in Sheepshead Bay
The kids was asleep, waitin' for da big day.
Me and da skank was gettin' ready for bed,
I wore pajamas ... she had a paper bag for her head.

When up on the roof, I heard dis big crash
Thought it was a burglar; I was gonna kick ass.
Went out on the fire escape and looked up in the sky
And what did I see - this freakin' fat guy !

With a red suit and boots that came up to his knees
In the moonlight he looked just like ... Dom DeLuise.
He had this big sled pulled by dese reindeer
He called one o' dem Dancer, so I assumed he was queer.

As he crept off the roof it became clear to me
That dis guy was lookin' to steal my TV !
Over his shoulder he had a big sack.
He came down the stairs while I planned my attack.

I waited a second 'til the timing seemed right,
And smacked him on da head - ba da bing - with a pipe.
He fell to the floor with a groan and a thud.
I was kinda surprised ... I didn't see blood.

Instead he rolled over and looked me in the eye
When I saw who I'd hit I near started to cry.
I said "Hey, yo, Santa I'm sorry alright ?"
"Not for nuttin', he said, but this just ain't my night.

I got lost in da Bronx, ran over some nuns,
Had a near miss by Kennedy, Rudolph's got da runs.
I'm out all freakin' night, bustin' my hump
But I can't continue now - not wit dis lump.

So do me a favor ... be a real pal
Take over for me - YOU be Santa Sal !"
I said "I'm from Brooklyn, I ain't right for da part."
But he said Santa Claus comes from the heart.

He made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
Stop at every house - 'cept fo da Jews.
I got into da suit and jumped onto the sleigh,
Wondering why reindeer smell dat way ?

Took off on my mission ... didn't wanna be late.
While Ol' Saint Nick spent the night hosin' my date.
That night I was Santa, bringing kids joy and bliss
And if you don't believe me ..... hey, jingle dis !!!

I'm his Number One helper, I been deputized.
So on dis Christmas Eve don't youse be surprised
If you hear a voice say - real loud and abrupt ........

"Merry Christmas to All - Thanks A Lot - Shut Up."

 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through buh.shit
 Not a webbie was stirring, not a single retarded misfit;
 The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
 In hopes that St. Frogbutt soon would be there;
 
 The dumbshits were nestled all snug in their beds,
 While visions of St. Frogbutt's bare ass danced in their heads;
 And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my bunk,
 Had just settled down for a long winter's drunk,
 
 When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
 I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
 Away to the window I flew like sprinter in a trance,
 Tore open the shutters and pulled down my pants.
 
 The moon on the breasts of Kate standing naked in the snow,
 Gave Old Turd a bone, and made Obiwannosi's face glow.
 When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
 But a miniature beer lory, and eight tiny reindeer,
 
 With a drunken old driver with a giant beer gut,
 I knew in a moment it must be St. Frogbutt.
 More rapid than eagles his curses they came,
 And he whistled, and shouted, and called them insane;
 
 "Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
 On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN!
 What the hell are you doing?  Did you not hear me call?
 You're going to crash into that fucking wall!"
 
 Like Cindyann running from NOKTURNAL SODOMIZER they did fly,
 Little does he know, Cindyann used to be a guy!
 So up to the house-top the reindeer they flew,
 With the sleigh full of Brains, and St. Frogbutt too.
 
 And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
 The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
 As I took my hand off my dick, and was turning around,
 Down the chimney St. Frogbutt came with a bound.
 
 He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
 And his clothes were all stained with beer, puke, and soot;
 Two cases of beer he had flung on his back,
 And he looked like a thief with a giant nutsack.
 
 His eyes -- they were bloodshot! his face it was hairy!
 His cheeks were like roses, his nose red as a cherry!
 Around his mouth the flys did linger,
 And his right hand had an upraised middle finger!
 
 The roach of a joint he held tight in his teeth,
 And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
 He had a broad face and a big fat beer belly,
 That shook, when he swore like a bowlful of jelly.
 
 He had a nice ass, a right jolly old elf,
 And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
 A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
 Soon gave me to know I had everything to dread;
 
 He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
 And stole everything is sight, God what a jerk,
 And sticking his finger inside of his nose,
 He flipped me a bugger and up the chimney he rose;
 
 He sprang to his lory, to his team gave a whistle,
 And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
 But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
 "HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!" 
 
 PPPTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTTHTHTHTHTHTH!!!!!!!!

 'Twas the night before Bullis, when all through the house,
 Not a Pedo was stirring, not even a mouse;

 The warrants were hung by the chimney with care,
 But some pedo's stockings were missing this year.

 Pedo was nestled all snug in his bed,
 Some Agents clung to proof dancing in their heads;

 These Agents all fought this battle so strong,
 Why oh why God, did this pedo come along?

 Whether pedo, kook, stalker, or tard,
 These law-men all tackled these kooks in their yard;

 From photos to phone calls to tapping their lair,
 These Agents still found a smile to share.

 Their posts live on...these ill-fated scum,
  Please dear Santa can we get Bullis, the bum?

T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (CAMBODIAN VERSION)
The Horsefeathers poetry corner thanks Ruth King
for sending us this tribute to John F. Kerry, by
another fellow Vietnam vet, Russ Vaughn:
from http://doctor-horsefeathers.com/archives2/000265.php


'Twas the night before Christmas and we were afloat
Somewhere in Cambodia in our little boat.
While the river was lightened by rockets red glare
No one but the President knew we were there.

The crew was all nestled deep down in their bunks,
While the Spook and I watched the sampans and junks.
Our mission was secret, so secret in fact,
No one else would remember it when we got back.

When out on the water there arose such a clatter
I leaped down from the bridge to see what was the matter.
The incoming friendly was starting to flash
And I knew that the ARVN's were having a bash.

The snap of friendly fire on the warm tropic air
Convinced me for sure no one knew we were there,
On a clandestine mission so secret it's true
That I'm still convinced only Tricky Dicky knew.

While I huddled for safety in the tub on the bow,
I thought of a title, "Apocalypse Now."
To give to the films I was I making each day,
To show all the voters when I made my big play.

As I sat there sweating in my lucky flight jacket,
Spook said, "Merry Christmas!" and tossed me a packet.
And what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a new lucky cap, which I still have right here.

I keep it tucked here, in this leather brief case,
Just sharing with the press its secretive place
As I regale them again with my senate refrain,
That Christmas in Cambodia is seared into my brain.

Don't bother to quibble with history my friend,
By pointing out Johnson was President then.
Don't listen to Swiftees who try to explain,
For I tell you that night is seared into my brain.

Down Hibbard, down Lonsdale, and you too O'Neill,
So you don't remember? Well it's something I feel.
I don't need all you Swiftvets to support my campaign,
Cause Christmas in Cambodia is seared into my brain,

Into my brain, into my brain, into my brain...

 Twas the night before Grey Cup
   
Twas the night before Grey Cup
And all through the bar
The people were rockin
From near and afar

The Stamps and the Tabbies
Asleep in their beds
With visions of Grey Cups
Dancing in their heads

The people were partying
From all across the land
At the Spirit of Edmonton
With a bitchin' rock band

At once we raised our glasses at the call
When someone yelled "Sociable!!"
Then at once we heard such a chatter
And we rushed to the bar to ask whats the matter

The beer had been swilled
the whiskey'd been too
And the bartender shouted
Last call for you

One by one we hailed our cabs
Our's was the best, the driver was Brad
He steered us to a pub down the alley
To a kick ass club called Mustang Sally's

When we got to the door no cover was charged
We soon started partying with the staff of the bar
With Rene' the manager we hoisted in the air
To Chrissy the lifeguard who served shooters there

With Bridgette the beer girl whose jugs were ample
And Melanie who tried to give us a sample
We danced and partied with one and all
Even the Stamps fans were amazed by us all

For we wore the colors of a team who wasn't there
But that didn't stop us cos we didn't care
We'd show this town a thing or two
And all along we tipped quite a few

Come vodka,come whiskey
Come rum and come beer
On shooters and gladiators
bring it on dear

All night long we 'd dance and sing
And even moshed to a little Offspring
The women they loved us and we loved them too
And we REALLY loved one or two

Yes the national drunk as it has been called
The Grey Cup loved by us all
We partied real hard we partied real bold
For ours was the colours of GREEN and GOLD

From thursday till monday we gaver non stop
Until at the airport when we started to drop
All year long we'll need to recover
Until next year when we go to Vancouver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
