                     Christmas!

Christmas Carols for the Werewolf in Everyone,

Compiled By Zinfandel T. Werefox





I'm Dreaming of a White Werewolf

(Sung to the tune of "I'm Dreaming of a White

Christmas")



The Pack's arriving, the moon is high,

The Alpha male's come to play,

but why do I have to stay

With ebony, tan or grey?

Though many fine wolves are near,

There's but one werewolf I want here...



    I'm dreaming of a white werewolcf,

    Just like the one I used to know--

    With fur, soft and pale,

    A proud, noble tail,

    And eyes with a strange blue glow...

    I'm dreaming of a white werewolf,

    With every passing full moon night.

    Though the pack hierarchy is tight,

    May the pelt of the next lone wolf

    Be white.







Lobo, The Werewolf

(Sung to the tune of "Frosty, the Snowman")



Lobo, the werewolf, was a rabid soul, of late--

With blood-stained paws, and foam-flecked jaws,

And two eyes that burned with hate.

Lobo, the werewolf, was an old wive's tale, they

said--

But the children knew, as did those two

Who would later turn up dead.



Their final hope might have lain in

That silver chain they found...

But those two schmucks put it round his neck,

Then their heads rolled on the ground.

Oh, Lobo, the werewolf, felt a pain of a high grade,

But he couldn't grasp that silver clasp--

It was lodged behind his shoulder blade.



He rampaged through the sleepy town,

Mauling shop after shop,

And he only paused a moment to

Dismember a traffic cop.

Oh, Lobo, the werewolf, could have crushed the town

that day--

But the townfolk hired a masked guy from

The Lone Ranger one-act play.



Oh, Thump.

(That's it, really.  Once the protagonist hits the

ground with a thump, 

you

can't go much further, from a poetry point-of-view,

can you?)







God Rest ye Merry, Lycanthropes

(Sung to the tune of "God rest ye Merry, Gentlemen")



God rest ye merry, lycanthropes

Let nothing bother you--

Remember that the wolvesbane all

Died out in '42.

The werewolf hunter's stuck at home,

Suffering with the flu--



[Refrain]

The world is yours,

When the full moon rises high,

Rises high,

The world's yours when the full moon rises high.



Electrum came in vogue last year--

The silver's almost gone.

The only blessed weapons are on

Hock at E-Z Pawn.

In short, there's nothing here to stop

A lycanthropic throng, [refrain]



Half of mankind is infected--Werecreatures.

One and all.

The rest are used for excercise, or

Are mounted to a wall.

It might be fun to sit and watch

Civilization fall [refrain]



Maybe together humans and

Werewolves could play and run,

Without strife and hostility,

Relating one-on-one.

Living together, happily,

But dammit, that's not fun! [refrain]







Have Yourself a Slightly Furry Christmas

(Sung to the tune of "Have Yourself a Merry Little

Christmas")



Have yourself a slightly furry Christmas,

Let the Moon shine in.

Just make sure you don't

Commit a mortal sin...

Hands extend and turn into paws,

Breaking Nature's laws, You see

Profound thoughts are revealed quite soon,

Under a full moon,

Running Santa up

A tree...

Chasing off the little Avon lady

With a rumbling growl.

Joining with your family in a rising howl,

And have

Yourself

A

Slightly furry Christmas,

Now.







It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

(Sung to the tune of--what else?  "It Came Upon a

Midnight Clear")



It came upon a midnight clear,

Form framed against the sky,

With glist'ning teeth and dark grey fur,

Perhaps seven feet high.

All of the shepherds rose to see--

Its howls brough them from sleep.

What could we do but stand and watch?

It left with seven sheep.



Days passed, numbering twenty-eight,

We'd not seen that beast since,

Nothing's poorer than shepherds, but

Those sheep belonged to the prince.

And now, we sleep, the night seems safe,

Four weeks since it last came,

But Joe stands guard over the flock,

Watching the bonfire's flame.



And then, of course, the beast came back,

Perhaps some lamb to take.

The sheep stampeded in a herd,

Leaving Joe in their wake.

Not quite a mastiff, almost man,

Fur pelt from head to toe,

Leaving us without sheep or guard--

The huge thing borrowed Joe.



It's been a month since that beast came,

A month since we lost Joe,

But I heard two things howl last night,

I've no sheep left to go.

I think that I'll not stay, although

There's nothing shepherds fear--

The prince has asked for his sheep back--

I hear Rome's nice this year...







Oh, Little Town of Lycanthropes

(Sung to the tune of "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem")



Oh, little town of lycanthropes,

Peculiar to mine eye,

For it is bright, this Christmas night,

A full moon in the sky.

There are no merchants vending--

Wherever did they hide?

Perhaps, in fright,

They ran from sight,

And now they're stuck inside?



In truth, there are no merchants,

In this small village fair,

When these folks meet,they're on four feet,

All covered in wolf hair.

Every man and woman,

Each little boy of two,

Would well and soon spend each full moon

Hunting for caribou.



How silently, how silently,

Timber wolves stalk the town,

And santa's deer have much to fear,

The moment they touch down.

Humans turn and run, when

They meet wolves in the wood,

It must be seen--Werewolves aren't mean,

They're just misunderstood.



Under a mighty pine tree,

The hunted and the few,

Wolves young and old, quite damp and cold,

The elder and the new.

Why would any werewolf

Stand out there in the sod?

Just to give voice,

With howls rejoice,

In the birth of God.
