The Night Before Christmas In The Colonies

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the Colonies,

Not a creature was worried, with signed armistice and treaties.

The Colonial merchants and politicians and corrupt leaders of all sorts,

Schemed and plotted and conspired to line their pockets with Colonial Cubits.

Mankind grew lazy greedy and corrupt with thoughts of vice and ambrosia filling their heads.

The Cylons took heed of the Colonists debaucherous vice and greed,

Infiltrated their defenses, while key leaders they turned and deceived.

The Colonies rested saying peace and safety, surely all's well and nothing the matter,

Then came the sudden Cylon attack that broke the Colonies back in utter disaster.

The Colonial fleet was completely destroyed, the planets were all burning,

Gone the dreams and hopes of all, now for the old days they were yearning.

Was this the end, the demise of all of the colonies of man?

We must survive and thrive, somehow surely we can!

So a motley ragtag fugitive fleet,

Hasted away in desperate retreat.

Gone were the days of happiness, prosperity, plenty and mirth,

So began the long dangerous journey for a planet called Earth!

The Cylons attacked and pursued and fought with all of their might,

While the Galactica and Pegasus surely fought the good fight!

And finally when all fighting was done, they found the planet Earth,

Mankind could begin anew, a fresh start, a civilization's rebirth.

So take great heed to the story of man...

All of this has happened before and will happen again.

So Commander Adama stepped down and said with all of his might,

Good hunting to all, and to all a good fight!
