[Sun] 24 December 2017 (A visit from St. Mikhail)

Post by Aqarius »

Twas the night before Christmas, and all over the map
The CO was drawing, beneath his peaked cap.
The marks he has placed, with precision and care,
Weaving his plan, the EI to ensnare.

The comrades lay snoring, wherever they fell,
They dreamt of potatoes, and vodka, as well.
All 13 were sleeping, their AKs in hand,
In their pockets - tobacco, "Free Takistan" brand.

The drivers were sleeping inside their Kamaz
Its oil, slowly leaking, as ever it has,
The radio playing, to little effect,
That one Farsi cassette that it will not eject.

The crew was asleep in their BTR
Parked over what was a civilian car.
The AT was dreaming, or wasn't, who knows.
Engies ran out of coffee, and were left comatose.

A truck then appeared, heaving with load
Barreling down the main encampment road
Went straight past the guards, sleeping under a tree
And nearly ran into CO's UAZ.

CO turned to the window, wondering what's the matter
Who was to blame for this thundering clatter
He reached for his gun, stepped away from his notes,
And saw a truck being dragged by a handful of goats.

He watched as it calmly drove into the base,
Steered by a strangely familiar face
Behind him were crates with a Cyrillic stamp.
He came to a halt in the center of camp.

The old man jumped out, and began to unload
Right onto the ground of the encampment road
Crate after crate, they fell down with a thud
Luckily evading most of the mud

Some marked as ammo, some as RPG rounds,
Some unmarked, but landing, made sharp clinking sounds
The CO watched on, gripping his firearm
Wondering whether to sound the alarm

But before he could shout, or fire his gun,
All the crates were unloaded, the man's work was done
He climbed into the truck, and he signaled the goats
And they let loose a bleat from their little goat throats

They broke into a run, and the CO could see
Their guest was none other than Mikhail T.
And he heard him exclaim, as he vanished from sight
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good fight
