    When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    Inquarta was sneaking in on a ladder,
    His nose was all red, his vision was blurry,
    He said to his girl friend, "mah tong feelths all furwy"

    The sleeve on his lame was all covered in red
    'cuz he'd slept with a wet blade while passed out in bed
    When Inquarta hopped down, he tripped o'er a trike
    abandoned last Christmas by young epeemike.

    With a sneeze and a shake, he hauled up the lad
    To tell him his choice of a bike rest was bad.
    Young mike denied ownership, as clear as a bell
    When pressed, he denied that he denied it, as well.

    Then a little old referee, all wizened and blind
    pulled a yellow card, a red card, then one of each kind.
    He consulted his pool list, noted all that had came
    and proceeded to wheeze out our list's famous names.

    "Now Edew, now Zelda, now Peach and now Mo,"
    "Grab your weapons, your cords, to the strip you must go!"
    "On Sabresque, on Veeco, on Saber-psycho,"
    "The DE's await, le belle you will know."
    "Sometimes we, as coaches, get into that dictator mode where you just tell and you don't listen and you don't try to understand them." Tom Izzo, Mich. St.
    "Fraud is the creation of trust. And then: its betrayal."

    The tournament lasted for days and for nights
    the fencers fenced fiercely with tremendous delight

    The refs were fatigued of 100 touch bouts
    And stormed to the bout commitee who had all the clout

    With determination to make everything right
    everyone was black carded by the end of the final night

    So ends the tale of another tourmament this year
    And happy holidays to all with good cheer!!

    Thanks to all who contributed!!!!

    All the armourers breath a with a sigh of reilive as nothing gone wrong thoughout and they could drink there beer without a call to the strip because of some fencer who didn't believe it was there bodycord that was bad.
