North Pole Silent Nigh

There was a venturous gent Who travelled the earth’s extent But at the North Pole It took quite a toll Deciphering their accent It started when he heard elves Discussing amongst themselves Saying: ‘le’s make oys For he girls and boys And pu all his suff on shelves’ Then said: ‘beer wear warm bandannas Visiing Monreal and Monana Because we’re old Is exra cold So bring exra blankes for Sana’ Now this gent was truly confused With the kind of language elves used Yet he feared missing So kept on listening And flipped from anguished to amused The elves resumed: ‘Is ime o sing Followed by hiry bells o ring’ Well that sent the gent Closer to the scent Of the kind of slang they did sling He then met the elves finally With a hey, hello, and howdy Then said the words right Singing Silent Night As: ‘Silen nigh’; with a silent T Translation if wanted: Let's make toys For the girls and boys And put all this stuff on shelves Beter wear warm pajamas Visiting Montreal and Montana Because we're told It's extra cold So bring extra blankets for Santa It's time to sing Followed by thirty bells to ring.
