Twas the night before Christmas Santa looked round, Quietness reined, and even a mouse Looked up at him in bold disgust raising solidarity down in the dust Santa grew hot, Machinery stopped, Anger a bubbling, Toys a job-lot Factory line oiled, Machinery there, Quiet as the grave, Delivery bare Just in time Reindeer, Tailing for miles, Contract Santas sat on large piles No hammer brave, Was hitting toys, No CDs spinning, Full of noise Lockout reigned, The real McCoy, No-one tells Santa, How to make toys Magic dispute, Elves on strike, Goblins in sympathy, Career hanging tight Walking the streets, Angels have wings, He heard himself say, Gossamer things Goblins in the street, placards high Touched delight, Shining their thoughts, Sparkling cherished wishes and gripes Not gilded and plastic, Like a politician's stripes or his flashy cart or ethics to buy The team arrives, OEAG (Organisation of Elves and Associated Goblins) here Rule 3 Para 4, Gilded where dear We have our standards and hers to uphold, Gossamer this year and we're making it bold No angel can fly with painted wings, And where you paint gossamer, no-body sings OEAG stopped, the quiet deafening, Eyebrows high, outlooks blossoming Gossamer this year, pompously stated, will be reconsidered, is that donation grating Machinery started to move right along, Deep from the beat came a new song We voted you in but made a mistake, We wanted the garden cleared, Not a good rake Goblins were hitting the bricks and the toys; Elves moved the sun to its new poise Marketing, PR moved to the door, Buried with wishes - right from the floor Santa smiled, His worries over, Angels would fly Maybe in clover |
