Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The fire was burning, with no-one to check it, Whilst hunched at his desk, sat Lord Cutler Beckett. The Chairman was nestled, his tunic blood-red, While visions of dead pirates danced in his head. With Mercer in the corner, and he in his hat, They settled their brains for a long evening’s chat. When out on the docks there arose such a clatter, He sprang from his desk to see what was the matter. Away to the window he flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon shone down on the Port Royal bay, When what should he see, but a miniature sleigh! Shocked by the sight, there was no precursor, Beckett called for his aide, the clerk Mr Mercer. Beckett knew in a moment it must be St Nick, And so in a panic he grabbed his cane-stick. Hurled by his reindeer, St Nicholas he came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name! "Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen! To Cutler Beckett, His Lordship so small! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!" As Beckett looked on, a small bit of him died, And he and the clerk soon ran back inside. Beckett then knew, his cane clutched in his fist, That His Lordship was top of the Naughty List. And then, in a twinkling, they heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. The clerk drew his pistol, and was turning around, When down the chimney St Nick came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his toe, And with a wink he buried Mercer in snow. Beckett did cower, hoping to be ignored, But before long, St Nick turned to the lord. His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly! He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, Beckett cried when he saw him, in spite of himself! A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave Beckett to know he had all to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And in two swipes he grabbed the lord and the clerk. And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose! He sprang to his sleigh, still bearing his quarry, For their bad deeds, the pair would be sorry. And so he exclaimed, ‘ere he drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!" |

Glad you liked it - I have no clue where the idea to do this came from, it just popped in my head and I figured I'd write it down before I forgot  As for what happened to Beckett and Mercer...maybe some things are best left unanswered...*cue mysterious music* |
