Jrichard Posted December 12, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 12, 2009 'Twas a bit before Christmas, when throughout Venture Land All the posters were nervous, Freebirds delete button close at hand The weather was cold and most were unable to bare The thought of not riding again soon would be there Most riders were nestled all snug in their beds While some planned trips all crazy in their heads With Squidley on his Harley and Lonna in her jammies The DQ was closed with no hope of any yummies When out on the road there arose such a clatter BongoBob heading south, rain and snow a splatter Away from the computer I moved like any guy Only to the kitchen for SleeperhawksMechanics pie The moon on my keyboard with a nice little glow Anxious to see what Yamaha brings to the next big show When what to my wondering eyes should appear But a picture of the new VENTURE all gussied up with gear With no extra cash and outa the click My stocking was empty, piss on St. Nick More rapid than eagles the spring events came Where we hope to meet more riders and know them by name Now, Ruffy! now, MamaMo! now, Muffin and Mini! On, Skid! on, Dragonrider! on, Wrongway and Boo! To the curvy back roads, through the end of the fall Now ride away! ride away! ride away all! As free as a bird the VENTURE can fly One day we’ll ride again with fallen brothers in the sky So out to the garage to check your tires and gear With the bike loaded down and a “Good Bye” to my beer. And then, in a twinkling, in my belly a loop I have to take off my gear cause I have to poop As I throw my leg over with power all around With a twist of the wrist I am VR rally bound Dressed up in Kevlar from his head to his foot At wide open throttle burning out the soot A bundle of junk he had flung on his back He looked like Wild Hair with that great big sack His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! Eck and his Wing, a sweet little cherry! A droll, little Midnight Rider naked with a bow, Dancing around for Cinderella giving her a “tiny” show Beer30 had a chew held tight in his gum He filled up his spit cup with mischievous Ho-Hum RandyA had a broad face and a bit of a belly That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly Stardbog always happy, a right jolly old self You can’t help but smile, in spite of yourself In the wink of an eye the mods read a thread Should I let this continue or should it be dead He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work Yammer Dan has retired, no more putting up with perps And pulling his finger as everyone knows Will make “The Pond Monster” smell but not like a rose He sprang to his Venture, to his team gave a whistle Riderduke said watch this guy he rides like a missile But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night". names changed to reflect the "usual suspects" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted December 12, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 12, 2009 Frogman wrote one before the Great Crash about the Red Barron and the Blue Beast roaming the hills of West by God. I thought I printed a copy of it but can't find it. Might be with that Color-Tune... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeperhawks Mechanic Posted December 12, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 12, 2009 That was great Richard! It was fun to read! Speaking of pies... humm, is that apple pie I smell coming from my kitchen?!!! Sleeperhawk is home from work and is making his famous chili so I will make some cornbread to go with it. And pie for dessert! Just what we need on a cold Saturday evening! But still no snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
