Twas the Night Before Christmas



Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house Not a creature was stirring...well...maybe the mouse. The stockings were hung by the whiteboard with care


Okay, that's not how it really went down at all. Let's try again.

Twas some days before Christmas
And throughout the land
The interns were scrambling
They'd come up with a plan

The stockings were hung at the Witt's house with care
Knowing their teammates soon would be there


As the snowflakes were cut
No one took time for a nap
And the last of the chain
Soon filled up the gap


Then at Jason's house there arose such a clatter
Of interns in kitchen, mixing some batter


After they'd feasted and opened the last of their presents
They set out to work
And it really was pleasant


They sorted and bagged
To prepare the next feast
Where they chopped up more vegetables
And boiled two beasts

The rice was all cleaned and the pilau was stirred
When asked to cut firewood, they complained not a word

Crafts were created
And stories were told
And a good time was had
By the young and the old

Then they jumped in the vans
And they drove out of sight

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
