TheMulattoMaker · Dec 18, 2012

It's that time of year again. Time for trading eggnog (+1

) for fruitcake (+1 :health:

). Time for popping a GP to make the Church of the Nativity. Time for giving a friend the gift of a DOW on your common enemy. Time for chopping hundreds of Christmas trees, but only 'cuz you needed 30 :hammers:

real quick for Cristo Redentor. It's time... to make up Civvish Christmas carols.

(This year's special 'cuz we get to hope Pacal was wrong and the world doesn't end and all that.)

So, without any more unnecessary ado, I give you...

Silent night, Civish night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round Your Trebutchets and You're fine
All the Infantry so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, civish night!
Your enemies quake at the sight
ICMB's streams from heaven afar
UN hosts sing 'oh my'!
Great General is born
Great General is born

What a night !, civish night
Mushroom cloud, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy face
With the dawn of world's end grace
Now we need medic quick

The first "Oh 'ell!" our general did say
Was to see the approaching stack of trebuchet
Yea, 'twas those trebuchet that deprived him of sleep
Not to mention their keshik had pillaged our sheep

"Oh 'ell! Oh 'ell! Oh 'ell! Oh 'ell!"
Born is the nightmare of Civ warfare hell...

I have no tech to bring

Pa rum pa pum pum

To trade for ironworking

Pa rum pa pum pum

My king cares not for you

Pa rum pa pa pum

So I will DOW you

Pa rum pa pum pum

Peace, you beg of me

Pa rum pa pum pum

I will not speak to you

Pa rum pa pum pum

And now you take my cities

Pa rum pa pum pum

And still I'm furious

Pa rum pa pum pum

But suddenly I'm willing to talk

Pa rum pa pum pum

Through my lands I'll let you walk

I started a war, you kicked my ass, now we are best buds

Pa rum pa pa pum, rum papa pum rum papa pum.

This website's decor has been ruined by Jesus's birthday. Nice job saying Merry Christmas a month's in advance when Jesus would say, "Dude, it's not my b-day yet."

it does throw off the iambic pentameter but important for context

Dont know what "iambic pentameter" is but it probably has something to do with the melody so "Nine Izzies dancing" fits better than "nine free promotions" I guess

Ha...I was sorta kidding with iambic parameter although I was referring to throwing off the "meter" of the verse. The song is not in iambic parameter (think Shakespearean sonnets), but the number of syllables and words does make it sound funny. But really it does not matter as this is just for fun.

"Nine Izzies Dancing" does sound more fitting or even:

"Nine Lizzies Dancing"

then maybe next you have something like:

"Ten Landsknecht-a-Leaping" (although here you have an extra syllable)

or maybe

"Ten Landsknechts-a-Lunging" - we don't necessarily have to keep the rhymes verbs. I do like the consonance of words though. (Lunging with their Halberds

)
