T'was the Day After Christmas

T'was the day after Christmas, and all through the gym,

All the climbers were stirring, we even saw him.

 

 

The shoes were all laced on the feet with such care,

In hopes that they'd hold on the chips that were there.

And staff in their T shirts were clocked in and on duty,

While we climbers were happy and not really moody.

We had just settled down for a day filled with fun

Knowing it's better inside than outdoors with no sun.

When up on the roof there arose such a clatter,

I looked way up high to see what was the matter.

And what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But Lisa, her rope and a lot of her gear.

With Aaron belaying her I know she's no fool.

 

 

 

And across on the wall I spotted Raoul.

Faster than the raptors that Amy quite loves,

The climbers flew up the routes like doves.

So I whistled and shouted and called them by name,

Now Mel, Aaron, Now Lisa and Emily

On Levi, Raoul, and surely Amy

(and the guy over there whose name I forgot)

Happy Climbing to all and to all happy thoughts.
