A visit from Garbage Bag Santa

‘Twas the night before the night before the night before the night before Christmas and all
through the dorms
The students were drinking, playin’ Xbox or watching porn.
Their laundry was strung across the floor
            In hopes that mom would wash ‘em when they visited her for a weekend or more.

Some were all nestled and sloshed in their beds,
            From binging and partying after exams.
I was a sleep, a girl by my side,
            Sleeping after one crazy ride.

When out on street, there came a loud beat,
            I fell out of bed to take a peak.
Out to the window, it slid with a bang,
            I even ripped down my communist flag!

The street lamp glowed yellow on the dirty snow
            And illuminated the highway and the landscape below.
Then, what should came to my attention,
            But an ugly toboggan pulled by eight tiny penguin!

With a funky old bum so smelly and slick
            I knew for a moment it WASN’T Saint Nick!
Edging and swaying they waddled and came
            As he shouted and slured each ugly bird’s name.

“Now Bastard! now Leroy! now, Mofo and Dumb Ass!
            On Vomit! on Stupid! on Shitard and Pissin’!
To the topf of the- orf- to the topf of the- blurp
            Nah dath awah! dath awah! dath awah all!”

The birds looked back and yelled at full blast,
            “Do it yourself! You stupid drunk ass!”
Stopped there they did and slid to a halt,
            With trashy Santa landing face first in rock salt!

And cursing and staggering, I heard him climb up the waterspout.
            He seemed like a spider that should be washed out.
So, up to an open window I heard him go in,
            Ready to commit some sort of nasty sin.

He was dressed with a blanket, from shoulder to knee,
            And smelt like booze and possibly weed.
An empty trash bag he held in his hand,
            He looked like a peddo, ready to make his stand!

His eyes looked dead, his face how scary!
            His cheeks were definitely like roses, but his nose more a rotted cherry.
The drool from his mouth dripped down below,
            While a Walmart bag hung from his ears to his throat.

The butt of a cig was stuck in his teeth,
            and a flask in his pocket to provide him some relief.
He was sinister in face and no sign of a belly,
            But that didn’t matter since he was so smelly!

He was lanky and drunk, a hideous troll,
            Who was clearly not there for a nightly stroll!
A glare in his eye, and the grin on his head,
            soon told me I had everything to dread.

With a swig from his flask, he went to his terrible work.
            He stole all our stuff!  The awful jerk!
And stick his middle finger high in the air,
            He made a jump for the window, wanting to avoid the stairs.

He thudded in his mobile, and yelled out a curse,
            And off the birds went, even cutting off a hearse.
I heard him slur as we end this rhyme:
            “To the bar boyth! I’m payin’ thith time!”
