But I rose from the Pit to emphatically say—
"Happy Christmas, Samurai! I'll destroy you someday!"
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
Jack jumped into his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew, like a tomahawk missile:
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
And back on my screen I at long last did see,
The reindeer and Samurai were starting to flee.
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
With a message that read, "Aku, there is joy in good work",
"Merry Christmas to you", Good grief, what a jerk!
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
The tower, now barren, filled me with great dread,
The Samurai left behind just... presents instead?
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
The prisoners had been freed, by the reindeer themselves,
And I groaned when I saw that, in spite of myselves;
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
I quickly pursued him, but much to my dismay,
An ulterior plan had already been in play:
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
When all of a sudden he darted away,
So confused, the word "Huh?" was all I could say.
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
He jumped all about, tried to cut me in two,
And I morphed several times as our fight continued;
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
My eyes,—how they twinkled! The laser: such power,
Our battle raged on, for what felt like an hour;
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
He stood there some more, longer than most people would,
Then he crouched to the ground, and then he "jumped good"!
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
He stood there in silence, and we spoke not a word,
And with a twist of his hand he reached for his sword;
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
As debris hit my head, and while standing my ground,
Down to the pit the Samurai came with a bound:
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
And then up above me, I heard loud and true,
The cutting and sawing of his sword coming through.
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
So up to the tower those morons they flew,
With the sleigh, just as dumb,—and that Samurai too:
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
Like an old spider in web, eye-balling his fly,
When they meet with Aku they will surely all die;
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
"It is time for attack! It is time for a coup!
"We must destroy, must destroy, destroy Aku!"
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
"Now, Foster! Now, Dexter! Now, Eddward and Bravo!"
"On, Flapjack! On, Courage! On, Chowder and Lazlo;"
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
More rapid than fire those pathetic fools came,
And Jack whistled, and shouted, and call'd them by name:
🎄#AkuChristmasPoetry🎄
🎁 ANNUAL TRADITION 🎁
With a sword by his side, and a ponytail in back,
I knew in a moment it was Samurai Jack.
