Have a Merry Rockin' Xmas!

[Freak By Night]

A friend of mine wrote this poem to promote his band "The Barking Spiders", who will be playing at the Thirsty Moose in Carleton Place on Dec. 29th.

Enjoy!

Just a short while ago, in a house down the street,

Four fellows were rockin', and keepin' the beat.

When up the kitchen, there arose such a clamor,

The 4 raced upstairs, one with a hammer.

And what did they see to their total dismay?

But a fat, dude in red spandex who said he wanted to play!

He whipped out an axe from a bag slung o'er his back,

And cranked out a riff that ripped holes through my shack!

I and the boys said, "Dude, we get your point."

So he reached in his bag and pulled out a joint.

As his eyes became glassy, and his Ho's became Huh's,

He rolled up another, and I asked who the hell he was.

With a giggle and snort he adjusted his toque,

But nothing prepared us for his poignant rebuke.

"Listen now 'cause I'll say this just once."

"The name's Kris Kringle you fuckin' dunce!"

With that he departed, in his eye a warm, gleam.

He mounted his Harley, and as he left the scene,

His engine roared but we could still hear him alright.

He said,"Yeehaw! Santa was rockin' tonight!"
