Author's Note: I wrote this around Christmas after watching WrestleMania 21 (which I bought) one night. It was originally a story for my brother- actually a gift. But he didn't like it. :'( Then someone told me that I should send it to Vince, but upon research, he doesn't take outside ideas. I tried anyway. That was two months ago. So I decided to put it here.
Enjoy.
'Twas the night before WrestleMania 21 and all through the arena
Not a wrestler was stirring, not even John Cena
The stage was all set in Hollywood with care
In hopes that the fans would soon be there
The wrestlers were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of world titles danced in their heads
And Teddy in his kerchief and I in my cap
Had just settled down for a pre-pay-per-view nap
When out in the stands there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
Away to the ramp I flew like The Hurricane
Tore through stagehands and arrived at the exciting terrain
The moon on the breast of the freshly cleaned seats
Gave the luster of mid-day to the next day's treats
When what to my wondering eyes should see from afar
But a miniature ring and eight giant superstars!
With a wise old driver, from the Royal Rumble he was back
I knew instantly that it just had to be Vinnie Mac
More rapid than boxers, his wrestlers they came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name;
"Now Bradshaw! Now Batista! Now Mysterio and Guerrero!
"On Benoit! On Michaels! On Stratus and Chris Jericho!
"To the top of the building! To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with a challenge, mount to the sky
So up to the housetop, the wrestlers, they flew
With a ring full of fans and Vince McMahon, too
And then in a twinkling, I heard on the stoop
The stomping and groaning of each big boot
As I drew in my hand and was turning around
Down the ramp way Vince McMahon came with a bound
He was dressed in a suit from his head to his foot
Not a bit, not a speck on his suit was soot
A bundle of cheering fans he had on his back
And he looked like the Big Show after a very large snack.
His eyes- how they twinkled! His hair- how gray!
His skin was like rags, he walked a funny way!
His wide open mouth was just like a toad
And the grin that it bared clearly said, "WrestleMania really sold!"
The stump of a cigar he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a skinny little body
I'll swear that he looked funny with his knees that were knobby!
He was a complete mitch -match, an eccentric old elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work
And filled all the seats; then turned with a jerk
And laying a finger aside his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose
He sprang to the ring, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim ere he rode out of sight…
"MERRY WRESTLEMANIA TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD FIGHT!"
