Why don't you do a camped up version of the Night Before Christmas. Change it and give it a modern twist. You could just say it was inspired by Clement Clarke Moore's Night Before Christmas. You have to give credit where credit is due. Here's a start: 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Crib Not a bass was thumping, not even a boombox; The sacks were hung by the heater with care, In hopes that St. Nick soon would be square; The gold diggers were nestled all snug in their shed, While visions of silver spinner spun in their heads; And Moms in her hair net and I in my shower cap, Had just settled down for a long night cap, When out on the street there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. I stubbed my toe on the way to the window I flew down the stairs with a bash, Tore open the blinds and threw up the cash. The moon glared on the sheets of the new-fallen snow Gave the light of a cops flashlight to objects below, When, what to my droopy eyes should I scope, But a mini sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old pops, so lively and slick, I knew in a moment it must be hip St. Nick. Quicker than a woman at a shoe sale rush they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; "Yo, Dasher! Yo, Dancer! Yo Yo Prancer and Vixen! Aight , Comet! Yo Cupid! What's up Donder and Blitzen! I'd probably do something with the Grinch. Maybe deliver it in full James T. Kirk mode. :P |
