A DARK Christmas\


It was the night before Christmas

In the tavern, no one cared.

They were too busy being evil

They must keep tempers flared.

There was an intruder today

Dressed in ivory and gold

A heavenly visitor

Cheeks rosy and cold.

Blood, spit, and vinegar

They were all in the air

And amidst it all

One pale man did dare.

"Come here, little angel

Come fight me and see."

The pure, holy visitor

He turned and did flee!

Deathy chased after

With a gun and a knife

He beat that man down

Eloquently took life.

The patrons cheered loudly

And bought Death a drink.

Damiano passed it over

With one lazy blink.

The action aroused

The silence not long

A second challenge rose

from amidst the wild throng.

"I'm tired of this tavern

And its silly games!

I challenge a Death Match

And I'm taking names!"

Groans all around

Beer glasses were thrown

"Shut the fuck up!"

One sick member moaned.

Ashram looked angry

"I'm always the one!

You guys pick on me,

You do it for fun!"

"We applaud you, Ashram."

A snooty boy said.

And he flicked the man off

With a finger of the dead.

Ashram was pouting

He left in a miff.

And oh, what a shame!

His harlots went with.

The men, they all moped

As sad as can be

But one little girl smiled,

"More attention for me!"

As Ash left out the door

Corrigen held a sign and it read:

"Looking for lesbians,

Nice women to bed."

And up in the sky,

A fat man in his sleigh

Passed over the tavern

It just wasn't their day.
