l TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS Twas the night before Vhristmas And all through the KING Every work space was silent You couldn't hear a thing. Half the crew was on watch And the others in their beds While thoughts of their loved ones Ilanced through their heads. When then out of Fombat There arose such a chatter The Vaptain woke up 8: yelled Now what's the matter? The evaluator With firmly clenched lip said. There's something on radar, Approaching the ship. We can't make it out We've not seen it before There's five. maybe six. Maybe seven or more. Now the f'aptain's in Fombat lt did not take him long The night was going well Hut now something was wrong. All over the ship You could hear the loud wail General quarters! General quarters! Put some birds on the raill The tension was growing And a chill hit the spine All the dots on the radar Had amounted to nine. ,1 11 lherc was no IH' Ur a radio call Systems 4 K 5 tracking And now l made them all. So we called Alfa Whiskey. They are coming at me. For the sake of the crew I'm requesting birds free? We sat there just waiting And the night was so black When at the last moment All the systems dropped track. The whole crew was frantic They were working on fear 5 minutes had passed They should almost be here. Evasion was ordered We started our turn When all of a sudden There was noise on the stern We ran out of Combat With never a pause And there stood 8 reindeer With old Santa Claus He stayed quite a while As he wished us good cheer For a nice Christmas Day And a Happy New Year. As he drove out of sight The ship was still humming Maybe next time dear Capta in You'll know that I'm coming! Elvie Kester 4...Z , i. if
