Do you guys remember this? :) Arte and I wrote it together back... um... however long ago it was; I forget now. :D

Dear Buccaneers,

Following is a little poem that Arte and Red composed together. It is based on that famous holiday poem. Enjoy, and we hope you get a chuckle out of it.

Artemesia and Coyote Red

'Twas the night after plunder, and all through the ship
Not a Bucc'neer was stirring, not even to quip
The plunders were hung on Cap's board with care
In hopes that the Bucc voters soon would be there

The mateys were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of victories danced in their heads
And Cap in his glory, and Buccs all around
Had all cast their votes, 'cause they wanted the crown

Then out from the pack, there arose a sure winner
This carmine Coyote earned a great dinner
Away the votes went, indeed with a flash
His acro was best, and it made a big splash

The moon on the breast of the ocean's night glow
Gave the luster of mid-fortnight to the galleon below
When, what to Red's young eyes did appear
But a girlie coyote, and she was a dear!

With a cute little woof, she did summon Red
We knew right away, Love went to his head
More rapid than eagles, they roamed all around
Buccs whistled, and shouted, but Red couldn't be found!

Now Mergee and Snoogee, and Logan and Cat
All did their part, and went up to bat
But no one could find him, oh where could Red be?
The winner must vote, on that we agree

And then in a twinkling, Red came into view
And the Buccs, they did whine, oh, where, where were you?
They'd given his acro the fame and the glory
But he wasn't there, so here is the story:

All of Red's fur, from his ruff to his tail
Was all tarnished and sooty! And the Buccs they did hail
Why Red, you are filthy, oh where have you been?
Just making a friend, he said with a grin.

His eyes how they twinkled, his stance, was with pride
And it seemed like his smile came from deep down inside
Each Buccaneer knew, in their own heart of hearts
Red's heart was taken, puppy love did its part

Said the Buccs in a chorus: Well, who is this cutie?
Then Carmen stepped forward, a most radiant beauty
With a wink of Cap's eye, it all was quite clear
What he'd done was forgiven, there was nothing to fear

Our wonderful Captain gave a nod of his head
And the Buccs, surely tired, finally went back to bed
So Sybil and Arte joined Elmo and Glee,
With Wonka and Baz, not forgetting JustMe

What an adventure the Buccaneers had
For Red's newfound friend, each teammate was glad
Artemesia of course, was having some fun,
The acro she'd written got a vote and then won!
