Hi.  Y'all seem to enjoy witty humor. So, you'll probably hate this.  

Apologies if you've already seen it, but I doubt anyone would be dumb enough 

to forward it.

Man oh man did those stink, Norm.  I can do better than that with

half my brain tied behind my back.  Considering I only have half a brain to 

start with, that would be quite a handicap.



"Rudolph the glowing green reindeer"...  Nah.  I got it...



Here's an original one, written by me in fifteen minutes.  It stinks,

too, so don't bother telling me that.  Saint Nuke and all that.  Aplogies to 

Clement Clarke Moore.  Enjoy...





'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the home

Not a lightbulb was burning, 9th night none shone;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

They hoped that their neighbors' firewood would be shared;



The children were nestled shivering in their beds,

While visions of spoiled pudding haunted their heads;

And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in silk pants,

We cursed what had led to this, uninformed anti-nuke rants.



When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.



The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,



With a little old driver, so lively and astute,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nuke.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;



"Now, POWER! now, X-RAY! now, PROTON and NEUTRON!

On, ATOM! on STRONG FORCE! on, FISSION and FUSION!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"



As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,

So up to the powerplant the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of uranium, and St. Nucleus too.



And then, in a twinkling, I saw in the distance

The fat man take to action, what a powerful prince.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,

Into the containment St. Nucleus went with a bound.



He was dressed all in white, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were not tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of UO2 he had flung into the core,

And he looked into his dosimeter, before going back for more.



The thoughts through his head were rather droll,

He decided to give naughty anti-nukes much-deserved coal;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.



He was chubby and plump, a right jolly 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 core; then turned with a jerk,

He laid finger on nose, as if to itch,

then bolted to the control room, where he flipped the switch;



He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

Thank goodness we're saved!  No more frost burn or blight!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL, GOOD-LIGHT!

In the city of Buchanan

There’s a greedy company

They own the local nuke plant

Really close to you and me



None of the other nuke plants

Going back in history

(are) located near such heavy

Population density



Then one day the NRC

Said something is not right

Indian Point your corner stones

Are de-gra-ded RED tonight



None of the other nuke plants

Going back in history

(are) located near such heavy

Population density



(I Have a Little Dreidel)



We have a little nuke plant

We wish would go away

But they don’t want to close it

They think it still can pay



Close it close it close it

Please make it go away

Close it close it close it

So we can dance and play



(Jingle Bells)



Shut down nukes

Shut down nukes

We don’t need the power

Guarded by security

That costs more by the hour



Shut down nukes

Shut down nukes

We don’t need the power

Now’s the time to close the plants

Before it all goes sour



We don’t need the fear

We don’t need the risk

We don‘t need the vulner’bility to terrorists

We can close them down

We can do what’s right

We can find alternatives

That let us sleep at night



Shut down nukes…



(Silent Night)



Indian Point

Indian Point

Radiation does anoint

Mothers fathers daughters and sons

Radiation affects everyone

How can we sleep in peace

How can we sleep in peace



(We Wish You a Merry Christmas)



We wish you would shut the nuke plants

We wish you would shut the nuke plants

We wish you would shut the nuke plants

For a Happy New Year (2X)



Petitions we bring   to you NRC

We wish you would shut the nuke plants

For a happy New Year
