Twas The Night Before A Sailor's Christmas
T?was the night before Christmas, I swung on the hook With snowflakes a?landing,
asleep with my book When up on the deck I heard footsteps and stuff ?I?ve
been boarded!? I thought, and I tried to be tough
Then down the companionway hatch came a dude He was dressed like a nut and
I thought, ?I?m so screwed?
But he laughed and he hummed as he surveyed my junk So I figured he must be
the resident drunk
His eyes were lit up and he worked at fast speed He gave me a whole bunch
of stuff that I need Like rum and cigars and new charts and a dinghy And
some kind of fancy electrical thingy
This stuff could have been stolen but I wasn?t telling I just hoped he was
giving and wasn?t just selling And I poured him a grog which he downed with
a wink Then I poured one for me (Lord I needed a drink!)
Then he staggered above to the dark snowy night As I peeked I beheld an
incredible sight Eight tiny dolphins and a beautiful sleigh And the dude
hopped aboard and prepared to make way
The dolphins were ready to power the sled But the guy raised a genny and
mains?l instead With a burp and a chuckle he gathered the breeze And
called to the dolphins, now swimming with ease
?Hey Stalker and FEMA and Cancer and Nixon!
On Stinky and Pepper Spray, Mason, and Dixon!
Or whatever your names are, you cute little fishes, Here?s to every last
sailor, my best Christmas wishes!?
As he sailed away leaving a wobbly wake I hoped he had not many stops left
to make He got close to shore and he soon was aground But the dolphins
proceeded to pull him around
And I heard him exclaim as he sailed out of sight ?Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a goodnight!?
