sorry mr box, i want to end this thread, ive been posting this for two years now, why not make it a third.
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the marina
not a creature was stirring, not even GlennW and his corona.
The stockings were hung by the tuna tower with care,
In hopes that St BOX soon would be there.
Mini was nestled all snug in her bed,
While vision of tailing sailfish danced in her head.
And mamma in her kerchief and deep in his sportfisherman.com cap
had just settle down for a long winter's nap
When out on the dock there arose such a clatter,
Deep sprang from his bunk, to sea what was the matter.
Away to the port side, he flew like a flash,
Tore open the door and fell on his arse.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of billfish, to objects below.
When , what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But a gradywhite, and eight dink ballydeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
He knew in a moment in must be St BOX.
More rapid than wahoo his courses they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name !
" Now Seabiscuit, now Arkster, now Whitey and Admin!
On Flattbottom, on Wabo , on KeyLime and Capten!
To the top of the bridge! to the top of the tower!
Now Dash away! Dash away! Dash away all! ".
As double sleeves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they met with an outrigger, mount to the sky.
so up to the bridge , the course they flew,
With the sleigh full of bait, and St BOX too.
And then, in a twinkling, Deep heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little bally hoof.
As he drew in his head, and was turning around,
Down the bridge ladder, BOX came with a bound.
He was dressed all in Grundens and Thermz , from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with Ballyhoo Poop.
A bundle of Green Machines he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twinkled, his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like ballys, his nose like a cherry!
His little mouth was drawn up like a monel bow,
And the beard of his chin was white as the snow.
The stump of a leader he held tight in his teeth,
And the 80lb mono, 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 happy and playful, a right jolly old elf,
And Deep laughed when he saw him, in spite of himself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave deep to know he had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And rigged all the stocking, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his crimper aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the bridge ladder he rose.
he sprang to his Grady, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the sound of a wahoo missile.
But Deep heard his exclaim, as BOX trolled out of sight,
" Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night " PALEEESEEE
merry christmas to all, and a safe and prosperous new year, may we all be here again same time next year.![]()
