Twas the night before Christmas
Quoth Richard Bridge's brief
Not a mudcat was stiring, not even a Mousethief
Bonnie's banjo was hung far from the mantle for care
our clumsey St. Nick was coming - BEWARE!
Unlce Jaque was asleep
tucked up in his bed
a loaded revolver lain under his head
Peg and the pagens all danced round the tree
While Spaw at the door sold tickets to see...

Carry on folkies....

Rick fielding was baking a lovely Moosepie
While in Harlow McGrath was saying, "Oh My..."
"a conservative notion has entered my head..."
His mates offered him lashings of whiskey instead.

Comon ye merri Gentlemen (and gentlelassies) add a verse or two....

and out in the streets, Big Mick was astir
Greeting each Capitalist Boss with a Christmasy GRRRR
Yet thinking the while of Dear Mudcat friends
and all the inspiration that he draws from them

and Loyla was tending to horsey with love
as Big Mick was stringing the mistletoe above
Kat was laughing at the sight of it all
as Jon Freeman got kissed by Big Mick in the hall

Our Morty was snogging everyone she could find Patrish prepared fireworks to blow out your mind Bill Sables so diligently worked on a strap While Noreen did sing and so loudly did clap

Oh well - I don't get much practice!

The smokers were off in a corner alone
Chewing their fingernails down to the bone
Belligerant,ornery and itching to flee
But the help of the 'catters will soon set them free

Caitrin peeked in from the kitchen to see
with cookies for all and a nice cup of tea
she looked all around, she'd been gone for too long
and was quite glad to see all the cheer, joy, and song

PalTalk was going
With Dave, Jon and jacko
Then alison popped in
And things got real wacko.

and Peter T,Alison,Bill D and Kat
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap
Littel Matt snug in his wee trundle bed
while snippets of ELO danced in his head
when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I looked out and saw a huge red-clad Mudcatter

Booming "Stay!" to eight tiny reindeer
Santa 'Cat leapt out of his sled
Knobbly, bulging bag next to his ear
Addressing the chimney, loudly he said:

On posters and tunesters
On Pickers and Strummers
On fiddlers and songsters
But NOT bodrhan drummers!
To the highest of "C"'s
In the strangest of keys
Now play it, and sing it
And jam it all on!

And then down below stairs there arose such a clatter
Tinker sprang from her bed to see what was the matter
And what to her wondering eyes did appear
But a Catter named Max and the Elf Joe clones so dear...

His eyes how they sparkled, his fingers they flew
As that dear ol' guitar played out Blue Christmas Blues
His tune spoke of servers and shorty and bits,
Between liberal dousings of those Strong Spirit nips
Keeping posts round the world clearly in sight
It's a Mudcatter Christmas-a candle lit in the night

No one alive had ere seen such a sight,
As that red suited folkie who arived in the night,
For his overstuffed girth heaved and jiggled like jelly
as his boot clad foot,
smashed right through the telly...

He spoke not a word
But went straight to work
Stealing banjos and gitars,
What a real fockin' jerk!

He stole mandos and fiddles
Til his bag was all dimply,
Then ripped a huge fart
And zoomed back up the chimney.

When whom should he meet, as he made for his slegh
But an angery faced Jaque and a leveled AK!
Get back down that chimney, and put it all back
Or Christmas will be marred by an ACK ACK ACK ACK!
I've caught you, you nut
and set Santa Free!
You crummy imposter! Now listen to me!
Yer gonna have fun, and sing and drink rum
We're going to show you, being nice can be fun!!!

In the fresh apple pie he made a huge crater
He snarfed up the pizza from the refrigerator
Of the left-over chicken he made very short work
and every olive and pickle that lurked
In the dim dark recesses of our frigidaire
he had ketchup and cookie crumbs stuck in his hair
his fingers all greasy from a large piece of mutton
he even ate Rudolph's carrot,the ravenous glutton!
Then he sat down and picked up my new Larrivee
and laying it thus on the top of his knee
started joking and singing with a full head of steam
and I knew that the guy with the beard was Art Thieme!

After drinking buttered rum for an hour or more, They were both too plastered to find the front door. Or much less the chimney, or even the floor. Then Song Dog walked in with a big toothy grin, I forgot to tell you, it was his house they were in. He shouted out loud, "Whats going on here?" There's a rusty old sliegh and some mangey reindeer, Upon my rooftop and I want to know, Why mine's the only rooftop that has yellow snow?

And Patrick his candles are all still a-light,
MudCatters are pulling a sleigh full of delight.
His mom and his dad they're worrying so,
Give Patrick your blessings, on a night full of snow.

And Brendan's there too, holding his hand,
Brothers they are,together they'll stand,
Wesley and Bretta, our prayers are for you,
That you and your wee ones will come through this too.

To all a good Christmas, and a good Christmas night,
For the Smiths, our candles will all burn so bright.

I was about to add my 2 cents worth, but Sorcha has ended this perfectly. Now to wipe away the tears and get back to praying.
