To the tune of "Sleigh Ride"

Just hear those squid beaks gnashing
and soft-shell smashing, too
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...

Deep down the benthics are crawling,
there's no bottom trawling in view...
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...

Avast, avast, avast let's sail,
pull some chum from that pail,
We're sailing in a wonderland of whale
Ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, it's grand
Robot arms in the sand,
We're riding along with a song
Of a cephalopod fairyland!

Our cheeks are raw and salty
And sea-sick nauseous are we
We're huddled up together
Trying to ignore the weather at sea...

Let's take that krill before us
and feed it to a walrus or two...
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...

There's a documentary on the ship of Steve O'Shea
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll inspect the squids, maybe Architeuthis,
Looking for a match
By the Squidcam where we watch the larvae hatch
Hatch, hatch hatch!

There's a happy feeling in the TONMO community
When we discover Architeuthis so the world can see
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier & Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives :wink:

Just hear those squid beaks gnashing
and soft-shell smashing, too
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...

Deep down the benthics are crawling,
there's no bottom trawling in view...
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...

Bump! :santa: Read earlier posts for more...
 
Cephnuts Toasting Dressed in Dive Attire

Cephnuts toasting dressed in dive attire
Small fish nipping at their toes
Low tide searches for food in the mire
And supporters making up these silly prose

Everybody knows Wild Turkey and some Michelob
Help to make the season right
Hardy sots with their eyes still aglow
Will find it hard to wake at light.

They'll dream that Cthulhu's on his way
Must be all the goodies eaten from the tray
And red teuthologists eyes are going to spy
To see if Humboldts really know how to fly.

So I have written this verse in parody
To followers from thirteen to one-OhToo
As a show of kinship and loving camaraderie
To wish a Merry Squidmas to you.
 
I dunno, this seems pretty appropriate. I'll defer to Tony on this one.
