Brought back ‘Ode to Advent’ from a few Advents Ago!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ode to Advent<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

‘Twas the night before Advent, when all through the Manor<\/span><\/p>\n

Not a writer was stirring, for nothing else mattered.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bunnies were lying out snoozing away,<\/span><\/p>\n

In hopes that their work was now done for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Vampires were nestled all snug in their beds,<\/span><\/p>\n

While visions of naked Mates danced in their heads.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evil Bob did the rounds on his victory lap,<\/span><\/p>\n

While I settled down for my pre-Advent nap.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

When out of the blue, there arose such a clatter,<\/span><\/p>\n

I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Away to the office I flew like a flash,<\/span><\/p>\n

Tore open the door with a hell of a crash.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Bob 2 sat there smirking, all chuckling with glee,<\/span><\/p>\n

He’s a fine sneaky bastard, that Evil Bunny,<\/span><\/p>\n

For he’s been on a roll now, these past several weeks,<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding new characters, giving them tweaks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

At first there were six, but it soon became seven,<\/span><\/p>\n

Enough now!\u00a0 I cried, with my eyes rolled to Heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n

But lo!\u00a0 On that night before Advent was go,<\/span><\/p>\n

There were eight<\/em> shiny Fassbenders all in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“Now, Craterus!\u00a0 Now, Quintus!\u00a0 Now, Aguilar and Callum!<\/span><\/p>\n

On, Erik\u00a0 !\u00a0 On, Harry!\u00a0 On, David and Brandon!<\/span><\/p>\n

To the Wiki!”\u00a0 Bob 2 did the rally then call,<\/span><\/p>\n

“To the plots!\u00a0 To the plots!\u00a0 To the plots away all!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

But the Greek and the Roman both sighed and sat down,<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Cop stood there glaring and tried not to frown.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Assassins made certain their blades were affixed,<\/span><\/p>\n

As the Mutant made office pens dance and do tricks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Synthetic Lifeform hid something from sight,<\/span><\/p>\n

And the Newbie just smiled, stepping into the light.<\/span><\/p>\n

They are many and varied, this dangerous bunch,<\/span><\/p>\n

But then here at Sylum, you should have a hunch,<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

That while eight men are settling in well and fine,<\/span><\/p>\n

We soon could be dealing with dude number nine!<\/span><\/p>\n

Bob spoke not a word when he saw us all there,<\/span><\/p>\n

Just lit a cigar and jumped up on his chair.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

So there’s plenty of work that is still left to do,<\/span><\/p>\n

And the one who is known here as Evil Bob 2,<\/span><\/p>\n

Will be keeping us busy, which just isn’t right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Merry plotting to all!\u00a0 And to all a goodnight!!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
