T’was the night before Christmas, when all through base,
Not a creature was stirring, except Sergeants Siler and Davis.
The gate’s chevrons were dimmed for the night,
In hopes that all would remain quiet.
Daniel was nestled all safe in an infirmary bed,
Teal’c should have been too, but Kel’no’reemed instead.
And Carter in her tank top, and I in my ball cap,
Had just settled down for a well-deserved nap.
When out from the speakers there arose such a clatter,
“Unscheduled off-world activation”
We ran to the control room to see what was the matter.
The event horizon, its pool of water effect all aglow,
Lit up the SF’s in the
gate room below.
“Close the iris!” I ordered Sgt. Davis, but the damn thing
was stuck, All we could do was hope for the best and pray for some
luck. In the gate room we stared dumbstruck at the sight before
us,
As out of the shimmering pool walked eight little Jaf’fa
and Apophis,
The Goa’uld, eyes aglow, dressed all in blood red and snow
white,
Reminded me of Santa Claus, only with more fright.
The mini Jaf’fa carried no visible weapons, but had large
bags instead,
What was inside, no one could have said.
“JAF”FA KREE!” Apophis bellowed, “I COME IN
PEACE...”
He paused, and then intoned, “...FOR THIS NIGHT AT LEAST.”
Everyone tensed as the tiny Jaf’fa started opening their
sacks,
Out of the bags they took gifts that made us all relax.
“I come bearing
gifts and good will toward the Tau’ri, And wish you a Merry
Christmas...so do not worry.”
That’s when I awoke sitting straight up in my bed...
No more milk for me, I’ll drink beer instead!
