A special parody just for TEST. Hope you enjoy.
'Twas the night before TESTmas, when all through the ship
Not a drunk was stirring, not even a crab;
The bottles were hung by the reactor with care,
In hopes that St. Montoya soon would be there;
The TESTies were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of kegs and stuff danced in their heads;
And Seung in his 'kerchief, and Citizen 404 his cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long night's nap,
When out on the starboard there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the bridge I flew like a flash,
Tore open the door and threw up the snack.
The star on the breast of the new-destroyed asteroid,
Gave a luster of twilight to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a Carrack and eight tiny Hornets,
With a drunk old driver so clumsy and sick,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Montoya.
More rapid than M50s his coursers they came,
And he shouted, and shouted, and called them by name:
"Now, Munken! now, Vastaire! now Thrashdog and Vapsyvox!
On, Egriz! on, ChrizZ! on, TestBot and DirtyScoundrel!
To the top of the hangar! to the top of the bridge!
Now fly away! fly away! fly away all!"
As ions that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the bridge the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of beer, and St. Montoya too—
And then, in a clatter, I heard on the roof
The skidding and screeching of each little skid.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the exhaust shaft St. Montoya came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A collection of ales he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a bartender just opening his rack.
His eyes—how they glazed! his dimples, how dreary!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the non-hair on his head was as white as the snow;
The stump of a bottle cap he held tight in his teeth,
And the booze, it encircled his stomach like a wreath;
He had a strong face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was muscular and bald, a right jolly young guy,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the bottles; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his Carrack, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he flew out of sight—
“Happy TESTmas to all, and to all a good Year 2015!”
