'Twas the night before an Update, when all through the Linkshell,
Not a member was wiggling, not even a Rocl;
The Gobbie Bags were hung by the moogles with care,
In hopes that St. Septimus soon would be there;
(only Nickolias hoped it would be St. Nicholas, wrong poem).
Aerides was nestled in her Royal Bed
(Ceiyne on the couch),
While visions of sugar-plums danced in Nirokun's head
(ok really that's all year long)
And Sendoh played his Gjallarhorn to sing Korea to sleep,
Ragnhild settled down for a review of Khelek's parse results,
When out in the forums Maxxan was annoying people,
Xavier sprang from Nikkei's mog house to see who to ban,
And shield bashed through the window with his Aegis,
Sonomaa rampaged the shutters and threw up the LOLsash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Made Alleya stare at his breasts and stop reading my poem,
When, what to Ryphen's wyvern's eyes should appear,
But a miniature airship, and eight tiny tarutaru,
With a smirking driver, so sarcastic and snide,
Kazen
(in spite of his low elvaan INT), knew in a moment it must be St. Sept.
More rapid than pos-hacking-RMT his taru they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Mongomong! now, Tsukasaz! now, Epical and Marius!
On, Toecutter! on Curtis! on, Fryte and Sobius!
(ok so that last one's not a taru but he rhymes with Marius!)
To the top of the Auction House! to the top of the Coliseum!
Now /flee away! /flee away! /flee away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane flies by Tearshang's house for the 8th time,
When they meet with an obstacle, they gleefully throw some Ridills on that shit.
So 100 floors up Nyzul the Taru they flew,
With the placebo-effect TH4 on loaner from Shiznicle, and St. Septimus too.
And then, wishful thinking, Avvesione thought he heard mithras on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
Kiara prepared to claim, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Septimus sashayed with a bound.
He was dressed all in crimson leather, from his head to his foot,
Flanked by his Galka: Atumre, Barada, and Gorion
(no I won't tell you what they were wearing),
A bundle of new weapons he had flung on his back,
And he looked as happy as a Blazer right after blazering a lot!!!!!
His eyes -- how they twinkled! Like Vishodian's girlfriend/fiance's new ring!
His cheeks were like the roses of Death Blossom!
His droll little mouth was pouting in perpetual disappointment
And his hair was amazingly longer than a girl's;
The stump of a pipe he had “borrowed” from Gizmosan,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a shroud of disdain;
Grneko started to greet him, but Kuno exclaimed: “Shut up GR”,
Soon gave me to know I had plenty to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight for the tea and biscuits Popeh had prepared,
Giving everyone Mythics
(except Slone, who has them all already),
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his Airship; Drewbixcube gave him hunter's roll and busted,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he sashayed out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good Fan-fest!"
