Twas the night before mudcat Christmas and all through the patter
not a creature was stirring, or shaking for that matter
Ol' Spaw was much better and to all our delight
the amazing Rutherford was singing, quiet pleasantly tight,
Cllr was running for PM with glee while
while Sorcha had passed out atop DannyC
Beverly was befuddled... what did this all mean,
Well, it's the night before Christmas, tis nothing ol' bean...

Carry on cats...

And Joe, in his wisdom, and not for spite
Moved the thread to non-music, and he hopes that's all right.

"Not so!" said the Shambles
"You haven't the right!
And I'll say it and say it
And say it all night!"

(ASIDE: Silent Night, my ass!)

Every cat down in Mudville
Liked Christmas a lot...
But the GUESTS,
Who lived just north of Who-ville,
Did NOT!

The GUESTS hated Christmas!
The Whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why.
No one quite knows the reason.
It could be their heads weren't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that their shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that their hearts were two sizes too small....

Ah Max ah Mudelfs, Ah Joe, you old loon!
Don't ya know this is music, it has an old tune!
So ring up old Skipjack and have him pop 'round
with a squeezer and fiddle to add some nice sound
Kats phiddle as well, and Lorcan on the flute
ol' Terry wondering which of many whistles to toot...

Now who spiked the Egg Nog with Vodka and Gin?
Everbody looks rat arsed and they've only came in.
Now that's Christmas Spirits but it wasn't too bright
Don't sing near the fire or your breath will catch light!

The Holly and the Ivy sounds a trifle off key,
who is the culprit?... oops good grief it's me! (hic)

Now sharpen your capos! Now polish your strings!
To the rooftop, and further, let the wild folkies sing!
Come Tonic, come Seventh, come Relative Minor!
With a bass run behind them (than which nothing is finer!).
Up, Tenor, and Dominant, up Second! Away!
And the strains of their music
Bring you joy, Christmas Day!
And the echoes returning, from the mountains afar,
Make it clear that they've all disappeared to the bar!

Zigzagging and pitching and trailing blue light,
the kiddies are screaming to see such a sight
Its SANTA! or wait, its his reindeer and sleigh
BUT IT'S SPAW at the riegns, and he's scuthered I'd say!
and Santa is racing along on the ground
screaming cusses at Spaw, what a pityful sound...

As dry leaves in a hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky
So Spaw launches old Santa
With reindeer and sleigh parts
With "Oh Come All Ye Faithful"
Blown out in egg nog farts.

Liz the Squeak was composing her ribald riposts,
While MG and Teribus tossed off a few boasts.
Rapaire toasted his feet by a fire in Idaho,
While Amos tanned his in San Die-ah-go.
Little Hawk, Shane and his myriad personae,
Spouted odes to Shatner's greatness--what cojone(s)!
Azizi regaled the cat-crowd with folklore galore,
While Sorcha minded the mudchat store.
When what to our wondering eyes should appear,
But Max, Joe and the clones from the virtual sphere.
And we heard them exclaim as we hit the "sleep" button and the screen faded away,
"What were we thinking? Let's play some music today!"

With Allan and Dani and Janie and ilk,
I put out some carrots and cookies and milk,
We spent several hours in stories and songs,
while I dressed up the holiday tree with my thongs.

as Amos and Bobert and Jane and Geoff Duck
and Mandy and Carole and Andrew and Giok
Had gone home from the Getaway musically gifted
I was frisked in the airport, my new thong was lifted.

Now I shouldn't make light of the officer's face
when out of my trousers came an old upright bass.
I was hauled off to jail, my mugshot was plastered
on postoffice walls by some government... Illegimate

..With a little elf driver, driving quicker and quicker,
I knew in a moment it must be - it's Micca!
More rapid than dachsunds his Mud-deer they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Pixie O Doom, now Morticia don't wimp it!
On, Catsphiddle! on Oaklet! on, Lts & Limpet!
To the top of the thread! to the end of the post!
Now dash away! we're heading for a fine Christmas roast!"

As green leaves that from the deep forests they fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the Mud-deers they flew,
The sleigh pumping with music, and Micca there too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard by the door
The prancing and pawing of each little paw.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney came Micca with a shout & a bound.

He was dressed all in leaves, from his head to his foot,
And his whiskers were sprouting with flowers and soot..
No red and white fur nor a sack did he hold
but covered with green like the Man of the Old
Bearing good song and a bottle of rum
Come Catters and sing - come all and come one!

T'was the night before Xmas and oh! what a pain
Not a catter was chatting, we'd been "doored" again.
No punning from Severn, no lurking from rum,
No typos from jOhn, gee, what a bum!
No folk thongs from jimmy, no quacking from Ducky,
No old jokes from Lead - well at least that is lucky.
Nae a whishtie frae Megan, nor a phone call for gnu,
No dog news from Sorcha, I'm feeling so g'blue
No pie from Foolestroupe and no gin from Morti,
No wierdness from Oak and Giok can't be naughty.
No chat at all - an abscence of wit
I might have to do house work! - Good grief what a.........oh goody! it's come on again!

Max and the clones were all snuggled in bed,
While visions of Shambles' posts danced in their heads.
Then suddenly from the puter there arose such chatter,
They jumped to their screens to see what was the matter.

It was picture by don that came down the chimney
It was of mudcaters naked or in pajamas so flimsy
it showed all that God gave them that we'd never forget.
There were objections but we heard Donuel say...
when it comes to birthday suits WYSIWYG.

So on goes the birthday suit, not too long dressing,
It looks a bit droopy and needs a good pressing.
But us catters are past all the worry and strife,
And the barest necessities of Mudcat life.
When comes in the New Year, a happy fresh start,
Each one, will come once more, to deliver his part.
To the threads, to the postings with vigour and vim,
So a Happy New Year to Me,you, her and him.

Well Hi-ho then 'silver, that should be the end,
But theres a mouse stirring in England, my friend,
I can't let this go without adding wishes,
May you eat all the feast,
Someone else do the dishes!
May you drink all the booze and not get over-hung,
May you join in the chorus of every song sung,
May your kids all be happy, your ladies delightful,
May your season be free of anything frightful,
May the New Year bring peace and prosperity to all,
May the good folk increase and the tyrants grow small,
May the world keep on spinning in spite of our fear,
Till we do this again at the same time next year!

Have a great Christmas, everyone!
