Dorm Yule

Yuletide came to UBC
Jul father in his wanderings
Tall bright towers half empty now
Students to far homes returned

Still there are always some who stay
Far from home, no where to stay
Far from friends and all alone
Until Jul Father came along

On the roof the hunt alights
Grim his name and wild his eye
Some dwell here he would scold
Some who in esteem he holds

First he comes to Eric the fool
And hard drive reduced to lump of coal
Too bad for his school work there-in
But dont download THAT kind of porn

Next to Brenda sweet and meek
A hundred batteries there he leaves
While college boys all act the ass
Not one of them between her knees

To Kevin Shu a stick and skates
Beer league hockey is his fate
His room mates often him invite
In Skadhis realm to race and fight

In Daniel's room he leaves two hams
A set of keys he lays between
He sees an alter their to Thor
Laughing leaves the feast main course

To Emily he comes at last
Her pentacle he chuckles at
Beside her bed he leaves a keg
And athame with wicked edge

Room to room he stalks the night
Rewarding some and others fright
Silent lonely in their rooms
They are themselves the source of gloom

Roaring he takes to the sky
Baying wolves and haunting cry
Mad the laughter as he rides
Hooves like thunder tear the sky

Waking Daniel found kitchen keys
And ham for twenty waiting there
To make a feast he went with cheer
Ran into Emily and her beer

A tower of strangers all alone
The Jul father laughing his delight
Hospitality makes of strangers friends
They wassail hard to serve his ends

Wild the hunt he rides away
Wild the party that comes this night
The Julfather came to UBC
A loveless hall he now set right.
