Deck the halls with fools and berries!
Deck the halls with fools and berries!
Deck the halls with fools and berries
Fill the boats and drunken ferries
“Ha, ha ha!” the psychotics sing
Sing the songs of sanguine howling
Of drunken revelry and stomachs growling
Slay a stranger in manic passing
Ye faithful, all are massing
“Burn, baby burn” the pyromaniacs sing
Bathe in blood to paint the town red
Through randomness the boring dread
“Back, back I say!” the paranoid sing
The times come to talk of the thing
And have a madman placed as king
It’s the time to be holy hollowly jolly
As the guests and faithful all are folly
“Art darling Art” the Artists sing
Feel the force of slate and slander
The woodcutting smooth sander
“More, MORE!” the addicts sing
Food and liquor and fully pleasure
All extended past their measure
Jump and run and stab and slash
Ecstatic murder in a hazy flash
“Die, die, die” the murderers sing
Deck the halls with fools and follies
The mad king hands out frozen lollies.

I like the pace, it's all rather other-worldly, but I dont get the point. (Sorry)

Thats okay, its a bit abstract anyway. Its a parody of 'tis the season to be jolly' with bits about Sheogorath, deadric prince of madness, inserted into it. Basically the story is a christmas time in a mad kingdom.

It's quite unnerving really, makes me feel uneasy anyway. The pace is good but also abstract and almost strange. It certainly has that edge of insanity to it. I like it though, good work.

My aim is not quite to make you simply uneasy. Its more a tempation for a spurt of spontaneous, take a chance and live a little. Not be completely random, but a little bit to spice up life at times.

When the blood and soul sing then anything is possible. Rumour has it that I can write poetry.
