And we needed a tree,
So we set off down the hillside,
Us roomies, we three.
The night it was freezing
And the locals drove past,
So we stealthily hid,
We would have to work fast.
The tree was in sight,
"Get that one!" said Scott.
But the trunk was too thick,
An axe, we had not.
But a cleaver we did have,
So Luke dove in and hacked.
It splintered and buckled
And finally snapped!
We lugged our tree homewards,
We three hand in hand,
Then a local drove past
So we ran and we ran.
We dragged it up stairwells,
We dragged it up halls,
Then we came to our home
And we stood the tree tall.
And drunk on our skill,
We set up our prize.
We admired our tree
With delight in our eyes.
We hung it with trinkets,
With paper and tape.
A beer can for an angel
Oh yeah! It looks great!
And we danced and we cheered
As we sighed at the sight....
Merry Christmas to all,
And to all a good night :)
