Twas 19 days before Christmas when Nurse RainBlow was wee
Filled with fear and distress on December 6th eve
For her parents had traditions that were passed on from old
Stories from ancestral German Catholics were told
Of two figures who visit all small girls and boys
One fills your stockings with candies and toys
But, if you were naughty, you were seen by the other
Who would bag you and drag you to Hell under cover
Krampus and St. Nick were this infamous twosome
One jolly and warm, one scary and gruesome
Watching and waiting for that December 5th night
To reward with gingerbread, or punish with rawhide
And so, fellow wankers, you may be able to see
Why the 6-pack of Beer kids had anxiety
Every year when the weather would start getting cold
The Catholic repentance would be aggressive and bold
And so, Von Trampers, we invite you to join us
In a trail that will challenge your naughty or niceness
Will you earn Peebers, glizzies, or a delicious soup-y treat?
Or Malort and a ticket to hell on repeat?
Cum one, cum all! RainBlow and Skidmark will cry
On-on! Will the hounds shout out in reply
On a pavement pounding 10k through the Burlington roads
Beginning and ending at RainBlow's abode
Come one, come all! Come naughty, come nice! Come celebrate some holiday traditions that I’ve never heard of as we prance around Burlington with Rainblow and Skidmark. Dress in your naughtiest or nicest …but get ready to end up on a list either way. 😈
On-after will have a gingerbread house making contest, as was always tradition in the Beer family household. The hares will provide the graham crackers and frosting for building, just bring your own candies and other building materials to share! Trail attendance is NOT required for on-after festivities.
