T'was the night before Christmas, with a firefly spin!
|
| Twas the night before Christmas and thru S'renity
Not a crew member was stirring, not even Kaylee
The stockings were hung by the engine with care
As the crew knew that Mal would not find them there
For he lost his religion on that fatefull night
And symbols of Christmas would give him a fright
The crew in their quarters and Jayne in his hat
Had just settled their brains for a long winter's nap
While out on the hull there arose such a clatter
Mal sprang from his bed to see what was the matter
Away to the cockpit he flew like a flash
Started checking the readouts all over the dash
Soon he was met by Inara and Book
Who had heard something strange, and come out for a look
Nothing on scanner, not a sign could they make
Not even a weird heat bounce, came off of their wake
Lumbering up the stairs, barely awake arrived Jayne
Woken from sleep looking for someone to blame
River and Simon, then Kaylee came fast
Wash and then Zoe arriving there last
Wash took up his place at the helm of the ship
Those three little switched he reached up to flip
In moments a reading, a blip on the hull
"No!" Wash exclaimed, "That's impossible!"
Again those three switches he chose to flip
This time activating the cameras outside of the ship
Looking at the monitors, what should appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer!
With a little old driver so lively and quick
They knew in a moment it must be St. Nick
If that wasn't enough to create a magical place
It appeared the old man breathed unaided in space!
As Mal drew in his head and turned round in shock
There came sounds from the outside, a banging, a knock!
They rushed to the airlock and opened the door
And St. Nick stepped in onto Serenity's floor
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
and the beard on 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 bowl full of jelly.
St. Nick smiled at Kaylee and opened his sack
Kaylee was excited and she beamed right back
He held out a present and she took it with glee
"A new compression coil, with three years guarantee!"
Next he moved on to Jayne, he brought the sack nearer
"Santa this is too much, it's a new sight for Vera!"
Simon and River he approached next
River looked on, surprisingly vexed
"They took it away, but now it's come back"
She cheered up straight away, "what's for us in that sack?"
He handed to River a bright candy cane
"Eat this," he said, "It'll give back your brain"
Simon turned to face Santa, he'd be happy forever
"You gave me back my sister, it's the best Christmas ever!"
To Book a new bible to Inara a dress
My lack of better rhymes put them both in distress
He walked up to Zoe and his hand did unfurl
Placed it on her belly, said "you're having a girl!"
And then to Mal he crossed over the floor
"She loves you too" and with that said no more
Except to the fans when he said "I'll revive,
Your show as a movie, in 2005"
With that he laid a finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod up, through the airlock he rose
Away to the cockpit, all the crew whipped
And for a third time those three switches were flipped
They saw Santa spring to his sleigh with a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But they heard him exclaim, 'ere he flew out of sight
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
