Twas the Night Before Christmas

“Cadre Style” 2020




T’was the night before Christmas, when all through the Cadre

Not a razor was shaving not even a Tradere

The Stockings were hung by the Shave Den with Care

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there



The TSC members were nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of Shave Gear, soaps, Aftershaves, ETC, danced in their heads

And Avocado Queen in her kerchief, and I in my tactical shave vest

Had just settled in when Ruger the cat plopped on my Chest



When out the street there arose such a clatter

I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter

Away to the Shave Den Window I flew like a flash

With a Razor in hand and wearing a strop like a sash



The Moon on the breast of the new fallen snow

Gave the look of great lather this I do know

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

But a USPS mail truck, late again with my shave gear



With a clueless driver, so slow and with no empathy

I knew in a moment this must be Twenty-Twenty

Slower than snails his Postal elves now came

And he whistled and cursed them by name

Now, CVargo! Now, Fenster

Now, Spider and, BarberDave

On, Monkey On, DKeester

On, GearNoir, and Nurse Dave

To the front door of the porch

To threshold of the door

Now, get ready to deliver

You better have gotten everything from the store.



As the cactus needles stick as the monsoon rains come

When they meet with an obstacle, bring much pain to some

So up to the house the postmen did toddle with boxes in their arms

That appeared to be mottled



Then in a twinkling I heard at the door, a knock, a pound

Could this be all the stuff from the store, with USPS Ground?

As I opened the door, and looked outside, here came the shave elves

Who smelled like Tide?



The postmaster and Elves were dressed in all gray and blue

Smelled like cardboard and tape, I was about the hurl my stew

The elves were no better looked very tired, by the look of their faces

Today’s shave must have been mired



They spoke not a word and went straight to their work

They filled all the stockings, then turned with a smirk

Sign here please, as he pulled off his mask

It may not all be here so don’t even ask!

He walked to his truck, his team in tow

They piled in the truck saying C’mon let’s go!

But I heard him exclaim as they drove out of sight

Merry Christmas Cadre, It has been a long night!
