Twas

[Gerritt]

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house..

not a fishermen was sleeping.. not even on the couch..

[Terry]

the muskie baits were hung by the chimney with care

they were thrown all season and had major signs of wear

[misfish]

But the price of those baits made me cringe with all my might,I threw tubes,that made me feel the pull of a smallies bite.

[walleyejigger]

but near the boat there was a splash, oh my with a pike the smallie did clash

[Tybo]

The pike was victorious and seemed to not care, for now on Christmas day his cupboards wouldn't be bare,

 

Smallies for breakfast the baby pike sang, as they sat by the fire where their stockings did hang.

[Nater]

Think we'll have ice for whittie openner?

 

Nate

[Gerritt]

Fillets of Pike on my plate they did lay; Bernie's Black Russian certainly made my day...

 

with a twitch of his nose and a look of jest Nater just does not understand what were trying to attest...

[pigeonfisher]

Roy called from above "Now you children play nice".

 

For soon you shall have that bounty on ice.

[Bernie]

A fork and a knife on my plate it did clatter

for walleye was about to appear on my platter.

[HTHM]

And then with a swirl and a shout,

was placed a meal that would make any man stout

[Tarzan's Jane]

Slurpping and slopping, my man he did eat

While I gazed at the small portion by my seat

Sit woman join me in this festive of seasons

Christmas morning you'll see I have my reasons

So I jump out of bed so full of glee

Run to the window and there he's waving at me

Left on the table was a note that did say

Yours is parked to the left up near the bay

 

I put back on my jammies and throw on my boots

Run to the bay but it's all just a hoot

Grab my rods and drill out a hole,

I'll catch My own walleye....you'll see, you'll see!

Visions of sugarplums dancing for me and for you, but alas it is only TJ in a pink tutu!

 

We run and we fret and hide under the bed, for who knows what devious plans TJ has in his head.

[pigeonfisher]

We try as we may, to keep ourselves prudent

Reading the laws of the lands, today we're the students

 

As we sit by the table, our catch is our feast

a knock on the door, Oh No it's the beast

It's Maw and Oh my he thinks he's the police

 

An unwanted search, with nothing to seize

"Donny" says jim from across our friends table

"We have nothing here, Move on if you please"

[Terry]

with Donny gone we chowed down on the feast

it was heavily spiced and gases were released

we blamed it on the dog, who passed out and was shaking

we looked in the oven to see what else was baking

[danbo]

Cornbread & apple pie browned in the oven, while the OFC'ers started huffin' & shovin.

Dang! old St.Nick better be bringin' me sumthin, I only got a rock for bein' mean last year for grumblin..
