Mask City

Twas the Night Before Christ-Mask

Twas the night before Christ-Mask
And all through the full house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even the Mouse

Nor even the Snow Owls
When out on the lawn
Arose quite a crash
Oh. That's just the Gremlin eating out of the trash.

Then he heard jingling
No, over yonder! That way!
Is that--could it be? Seahorse leading the sleigh?!

On Seahorse! On Jelly!
On Serpent and Broc!
On Popcorn! On Whatcha!
On Mushroom and Croc!

Crocodile: "Santa Jaws. Get it? (winks)"

With Sun's guided light,
The masks landed on brick.
And out stepped holly, jolly
(Not so) old St. Nick.

As he readied to speak,
The masks rushed to be near.
Giraffe stuck his neck out,
And even Lips was all ears.

"Whether you're reptilian, mammalian,
Or an alien baby,
For these holidays,
Let's all just be friends! Maybe?

Yes, it is true.
It's been quite a tough year.
But that's why I'm here
To bring magic and cheer.

So while three of you still compete
To be the winner
Enjoy--care of me--
One fun family dinner."

Mushroom: "Pass the mushrooms, please!"

Then Nick boarded his sleigh
And he yelled as it took flight,
"Merry Christ-Mask to all!
And to all a good night"

(The masks throw some food at his face)

Nick: "Or fine. A food fight. Y'all are crazy."

(The masks start throwing food at each other like a bunch of juveniles)
