Twas the Night Before MechMas
Parodied by: SilverSble
Twas the night before Christmas and among all the stars
Warriors gathered; they filled all the bars.
The Mechs were all parked in their bays with great care
Ready for battle anytime, anywhere.
The Sheep were all gathered at Ewe Heifer Inn
Toasting with Schlager their latest great win.
DC and He@vy recounted each kill
While Voodoo and Peacefrog recorded clan’s skill.
When out in the lot there arose such a noise
(Do you think an assault would be wise girls and boys?)
Scrambling for weapons and fearing attack
The Sheepers all rushed for the door in the back.
"The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.”
When what to their eyes, laden with drink,
Should appear, but a Jenner, and the damn thing was PINK!
The driver too short to be seen made them able
To guess that the pilot must be SilverSble.
With much swerving and jolting she came to a stop
And a wild blonde head popped out of the top.
“No Hammers, or Atlas, or Assassins for me!
No Valkyrie or Asp!” Cried the Pilot with glee.
“Give me my Jenner and Tartan to fly!
And Northwind Highlanders to Live or to Die!”
The crowd shook their heads, and grinned with a nod
As a missile torn Highlander limped out of the fog.
They knew the pilot who was driving that mess
GregorPyre had made it, and then came the rest.
Mechs filled the sky, cheers filled the air
Ford Prefect came out, living legend round there.
"Hey Sble” he quipped “You’re looking quite sassy
You realize my dear we now own your chassis.”
Viper, and Turtle, and Phelan Wolf came
They knew NWH would not be the same.
Pyre and Cleric, a deal they had done
Trial of Possession, a pink Jenner to be won.
"A deal with the Devil” they heard Silver say
"But my chassis my own to give away.”
She winked and walked over to DC and said
"If you think I’ll be easy sugar, you’re off in the head.”
With a roar that made everyone wince
The Highlander stopped in the middle of this.
As every head turned to follow the sound
Gregor dismounted; hit the ground in one bound.
Still looking the leader from head to foot
His kilt was all tarnished with ashes and soot.
“Sheep” he said, ”You won fair and square
And to prove it our designated decoy is there.”
DCleric laughed, full of good cheer
Voodoo Lou gave his usual “filthy minded” leer.
Across the company, silence it fell
Peace on this night after going through hell.
A year full of battles hard lost or hard won
Nothing was over, there was more to be done.
Clan Black Sheep fought hard for a spot of their own
Recognition came hard, this they had known.
McCann and AuraDracul gave a toast
To holding their own, to earning the boast.
To making a charter, to being the best
Even if it meant to deal with IS.
Sble jumped in her Jenner, to NWH gave a yell
She had lost radio contact when her bunny ears fell.
One last run with her crew, one last scrimmage for fun
One last hurrah before the contract was done.
She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work
Turned her torso with a hitch and a lurch.
Laughing and saying with twang full on sight
"Merry Christmas y’all! And have a good night!!”
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Good Hunting to all that read this.
