Hello Everyone and Happy Holidays! 

I thought I’d share a bit of seasonal doggerel that I posted to the Imperial Guard list a while back. 

At the time I was considering playing Imperial Guard and had even played a few proxy games

against Mike’s Chaos forces. 

Hello Sirs!  <salute>

This is a little late, but we've had terrible warp storms lately.  It
is a brief report of an odd occurence at 2400 hours one cloudless
night shortly before the new Year.


All snug in our bunks, ready for rest,
we'd worked hard that day and done our best,
When out in the firebase, there arose such a noise,
I had to investigate and check on our boys.

I dashed out and looked and what did appear?
It was some Dark Eldar in a screaming Raider.
before anyone could fire, it landed on base,
a figure jumped out and Oh, what a face!

He was clad in black and red
from his spiked boot to his head.
A hellish mask he wore, he was a scary dark elf,
I cringed when I saw him in spite of myself.

Silent as death, he reached in a sack,
and tossed to the ground a heavy pack
of items, one large and one small,
then flipped back into the Raider without a fall.

The Raider lifted on it's jets and sped from sight,
and I swear that he said, "Goodwill toward men and to all a good
night."

Incidentally, the two items were a Chaos Lord's head,
and a small scrap of paper with script that read,
"Peace to you this season, then who knows what's in store,
Dracon El T'taes, Kabal Rillishelwe Mor."

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sleeping better these days.
