Night Before Christmas – SF
Style
‘Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the dojo
was sparring, not even Rolento;
The
stockings were hung by the lockers with
care,
In hopes that St. Gouken would soon
be there;
Warriors were nustled all snug in their
beds,
While visions of M.Bison danced in
their heads;
headband, and Ken in his Gi,
Who’d just
gotten up for a quick midnight
pee,
When out in the woods there arose
such a clatter,
John to see what was the matter. (con’t after the
break)

(it’s quite long but good)
As for best Worst poem? There
weren’t any clearly bad poems in the entries, so we

The Night Before Christmas

Away to the window he dashed like in

Unlocked all the locks and flung
open the door.

Gave the
lustre of mid-day to objects
below.
When, what to his baby blues should
arose,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight
tiny foes,
bearded driver, so strong and so
broken,
Ken knew in a moment it must be St.
Gouken.
More rapid that Fuerte his coursers
they came,
DC’d, and called them by name;
“Now,
Blanka! now, Oro! now, Makoto and
Dudley!
On, Hugo! on Vega! on Adon and
Cody!
To the top of the Tier! to the top
of them all!
dash cancel! dash cancel all!”
As dry
leaves that before the wild hurricane kick
fly,
When they meet with an obstacle,
mount to the sky,
house-top the coursers they
flew,
With the sleigh full of sequels, and
St. Gouken too.

The
cringing and crying at each little
nerf.
As he drew in his head, and was
turning around
St. Gouken came with a bound.
He was
dressed in alt. costume, from head to his
foot,
and his beard was all tarneshed with
ashes and soot;
he had flung on his back, style="text-align: center;">And he looked
like a Ranker just opening his Power Up
Pack.
His eyes — how they twinkled! his
jowels how hairy!
one handed, and he’s got a
parry!
His stamina’s average it’s only a
thou,
but his damage is great like a
rampaging cow;

waist… style="text-align: center;">For 320 points?
My God, what a waste. style="text-align: center;">He has a good
throw, a good Ultra setup, style="text-align: center;">His Hover Palm
into Tatsu make everyone fed up.
He was once
thought to be dead but was merely just
sleeping,
Death feared to try reaping.
A whiff of
his Jab and a link of his Short,
Soon gave
to me to know he was played by a
dork.
He spoke not a word, but clearly had
a mic
But as soon as he beats you lets you
know “THASSSS RIIIIIGHT!!”
finger aside of his nose, style="text-align: center;">And giving a nod,
up the chimney he rose; style="text-align: center;">He sprang to his
sleigh, to his team gave a
whistle, style="text-align: center;">And away they all
flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard
him mic spam, ere he left the
lobby,
~~~”MERRY CHRISMAS YOU CHUMP,
SCRUBBY KNOB JOCKEY!”~~~
The rest of
Carl’s award winning limericks:
man from Seattle style="text-align: center;"> Who knew only
one way to battle style="text-align: center;"> He’d cry,
“Shoryuken!” style="text-align: center;"> Again and
again
And annoy ev’ryone with this
prattle

There once was a man in the Air
Force
Big muscles, tattoos; a real work
horse
He could flip through the
air
Without mussing his
hair
And still come out the winner, of
course

There once was a beast from the
jungle
Who tore out quite ready to
rumble
He shocked, bit and
spun
In fact, almost
won
‘Til a punch caught his roll,
caused a stumble

There once was a bullfighter
Spanish
Whose ego was very
outlandish
took a bruise style="text-align: center;"> He would panic
and lose style="text-align: center;"> But his vanity
never would vanish style="text-align: center;">

There once was a man with an
eyepatch
all opponents he could catch
Until one
rushed in hard
off his guard style="text-align: center;"> Left him flat on
the ground with a small scratch
