'Twas the night before Christmas (Marshal Style!)
Ok, I know it's only the 5th, but thought I'd try and get in the mood by posting this:
'Twas the night before Christmas And all through the house not a keyboard was stirring, no clicking of the mouse The probans were hung up or stuffed into bags Gathering dust til next season, along with the flags The marshals were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of incidents danced in their heads The rescue unit pixies had hung up their hoods And all settled down for a long winter snooze When out in the garden there arose such a clatter The Pumpkins sprang from their beds to see what was the matter Away to the window they ran like a flash Tore open the curtains to look at the crash The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Reflected off the debris that was strewn out below Rolled over on the pavement well what should appear But an overturned sleigh and some panicked reindeer The driver was stuck, shouting "get me out quick!" They knew in a moment it must be St. Nick The rescue call went out - and extinguishers in hand Marshals quickly arrived from every land There were marshals from Britain, there were marshals from Spain There were marshals from Ireland - from around the world they came There were doctors in red and rescue crews in green (The marshals in black could just barely be seen) "oh free me" cried Santa "Oh free me I beg! I think one of the reindeer just peed on my leg" The Rescue Crews assessed and looked round and about "it's a spinal extraction - we're cutting him out!" "oh no no" moaned Santa "you'll damage my sleigh! I must deliver presents - just free me, I pray" "sorry santa" said Rescue "your safety comes first" And fired up the Holmatro whilst Santa just cursed Ok here's the problem, the IOs all said We've got all of these children tucked up in their beds Secure in the knowledge that their presents will arrive And this *$$%£$% sleigh is just not fit to drive Then one hefty marshal got a bright idea "we can take them ourselves - we have eight reindeer. we can ride them ourselves, with the pressies in a sack" And he promptly climbed up upon poor Blitzen's back When Rudolph saw this, he ran off at high speed A big dent in his back he really DID not need The Irish marshals gave chase as he charged up the hill (chasing deer is a little known Irish marshalling skill) Well Rudolph was harnessed, as were Donner and co. The marshals mounted up and were ready to go With toy sacks in hand, the starting flag unfurled And signalled their race to bring presents to the world Meanwhile, poor old Santa had finally been extracted And was apologising for having overreacted The docs passed him fit, although he had a bruised butt "never mind" said the crew chief "here you are, have a donut" The marshals were gathered, whispering in hushed tones When the quiet was broken by the ring of a phone "We've done it" they said "so give us three cheers - And tell the fat red guy to get in the beers" After much bodging repair, Santa was off on his way With duct tape trailing from the dents in his sleigh The marshals went home and got back to their dreaming Carrying their last sight of Santa waving and beaming When all had gone home, a faint jingling was heard It was Santa again - but he spoke not a word At each marshal home he dropped off a present "good weather for one day at your choice of event" He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But you could hear him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!" |

EP, very very cute, even for a non-marshal up with insomnia- you do have talent m'dear.
(woke up in the middle of the night, took advantage of the hour to call some friends in France who recently had a baby, then damned myself by peeking in to 10/10ths and now look, it's bloody 4 in the morning!) |

I always knew I was never going to be able to top that one - it just works so well!
However, here is my this year's Christmas Oevre...hope you enjoy it! (to the tune of "chestnust roasting on an open fire") Probans moping in the wardrobe Jack Frost nipping at your nose Crash videos being watched on weekends Cleaning oil spills up on public roads..... Everybody knows to fix up an oil spill or two Takes some brushes and cement Novices with their eyes all aglow Are waiting for an incident They know the new season is on its way With opportunities for all marshals to play And every RallyX driver is going to try To see if Novas really know how to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To Marshals the whole world through Although it's be said, many times many ways Merry Off Season to you!
