'twas the night before fencing, and all through the salle,
Not a fencer was fencing, not even my buddy Al,
Ma in her helmet and me in my lame, had just settled in for a 15 touch nap.......

when what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a mango all dressed in her new fencing gear,
with a touch to the kneecap and a flick to the wrist,
soon gave them to know, she hardly ever missed,

on angel, on eppemasher, on inquart and sallearmorer,
on slo-mo, on psycho, on zelda and all,
to the end of the strip, to the end of the wall,
now advance lunge disengage, disengage all!!!!
