T'was the night before Christmas, and all through the Nest
Hung garlands of gremlins, their biting suppressed
By the Christmas lights Tiny had muzzled them with;
If you asked the man why, he would
drink plead the fifth.
But it might have had something to do with the fact
That he'd dressed up as Santa, and had a few Jacks,
And that gremlin right there, with the shiny red bows
And the two sprigs of mistletoe shoved up its nose
Had started them off on that damned caroling
"I saw Tino kissing Santa Claus" -- so now they couldn't sing.*
And so, if you needed him, Tiny was here
With a beard and a hat and some Christmakahstice cheer.
As to whether the carol was true... who can say?
Do you really want to ask? Just enjoy your holiday.
(Besides, they forgot about the golden rule,
Because Bo had dropped by with some presents for Yule,
And if
she kissed them both, well, you know what they say:
It's okay, when it's in a 3-way.)
