Twas the Night Before Clan Night

By McSnafu

Twas the night before clan night when all through the house
Not a glitcher was stirring no complaining from our spouse
The rucksacks were hung from the bed posts with care
In hopes that Lord Kerdaq would soon be there.

The piggies were nestled with headsets on their ears
While reflections of nukes danced in their beers.
And Slee in his camos and Bath with his stout
Had just settled in for a long clan night bout

When out on Crisis there rose such a din
I sprang from my stupor Makarov in hand
Away to the XBox I flew in a flash
Strapped on my Turtles and entered the bash

Array was a breast with new fallen snow
Up in the office to shoot the Timmies below
When what to my wandering eyes should appear
But a clan full of piggies loaded for bear

With a grizzled old leader all lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be DaRedneck
More rabid than pit bulls his charges they came
He cussed and he shouted and called them by name

Now Hunter! now, Velcro! now, Ginger and Wipsy!
On,  Sleestack! On,Ubu on, Bigstorm and Gammon
To the top of the tower! to the top of the wall!
Now blast away! Blast away! Blast away all!

As dry leaves that before the wild hurrican fly.
When they met with an obstacle,let the C4 fly.
Up on the house-top the snipers did hide.
With a Jeep full of ammo and in full battle cry.

An then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof.
The sound of the Huey and the poor Timmies cry.
The battle plans were drawn and positions were taken
Let them all know that Epic is ready to give them proof.

They were dressed in all camo, from their head to their foot,
And their clothes were all tarnished from gunpowder and soot.
Crossbows were slung on their backs.
And they were all ready to take Timmie to task.

When the battle was over and the war had been won.
Sonic had congratulated them on game well played.
But that no one can stand up to the clan that plays as one.
The lobby went silent and not a Timmie had stayed.

They sprang to their Jeeps and were given a whistle.
And away they did fly like the down on a thistle.
But I heard them exclaim, ere they drove out of sight.
“Happy Clanniversary to all, and to all a good night.
