we’re here!

yes,this is the daily M.A.R.F you’ve known and loved since a wee fourth grade. there will be a few changes such as more reader input and frequenter issues. they also will probably not be as long or pretty. there might not be Misis Mumford stories in evrery issue. this website will probably be an extention of the newspaper where you can discuss the articles and other stuff. please create a username so people you don’t know will not be able to track you down. i’m also getting rid of the initially thing. it is not the daily M.A.R.F. any more. it is The Daily Marf

Classic Carols

Due to the nececcity of sleep, i have ben unable to write new songs for this year, so here are the original ones from 2007

Yellow Snow
to teh tune of “Silver Bells”

Yellow snow, Yellow snow, It’s wintertime in the city
Walk your dog, leave a log, It’s wintertime everywhere

On the sidewalk where you and I walk, they leave everything there
though its frozen Its still quite a hazard
People pass it, from the basset
No you can’t eat that snow,
Its not lemon, but something much worse

((repeat first verse))

Silent Dwight
to the tune of “Silent Night”
Silent Dwight
Holey Dwight
all is lost
this sad night
mommy threw the poor socky away
he was so stinky no one came to say
sleep in heavenly peace
sleep in heavenly peace

O Eggi-nog
to the tune of “O christmas tree”
((useful for repelling cavemen))
O eggi-nog
O eggi-nog
your flavor is repulsive
O eggi-nog
O eggi-nog
the pain is so convulsive
don’t want to see you on my plate
I’d rather eat the old fruitcake
O eggi-nog
O eggi-nog
your flavor is repulsive

We three nings
to the tune of “We Three kings”

We three nings of mumfordland are
tried to smoke a cuban cigar
we got cancer and died faster
now we no longer are
cigarettes are stinky and un-great
you will meet an awful fate
if you smoke them you will croak
so stop before it is too late

I’m Telling on my Sibling
to the tune of “Go tell it on the mountain”

I’m telling on my sibling*
they’ve done everything they can to bother me
I’m telling on my sibling*
my parents need to know
they peeked in all the presents sitting underneath the tree
they need coal in their stocking, but get toys like you and me
((sing first verse again))
*may be replaced with brother or sister

Wreck the walls
to the tune of deck the halls
wreck the walls with brother ollie
muahahaha-haha-ha-ha
’tis the season to trick polly
muahahaha-haha-ha-ha
but there’s no coal in my stocking
Muahaha-hahaha-ha-ha-ah
‘Cause it’s santa who is talking
muahahahaha-haha-ha-ha

Teh new year’s song
to the tune of auld lang syne

my parents let me stay up late, drink non-alchoholic wine
I’m waiting for the ball to drop
I think It’s almost time
for it is new years eve my friend
today is new years eve
go bang a pot, wake neighbors up
for it is new years time

and now for a visit from st. nicholas
T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring except for a mouse.
He was making some eggnog for a fake Santa Claus,
hoping he finally could disprove the fraud.
He put in some egg, he added some nog,
he cooked it a bit over a flaming log.
He added the final ingredient at last,
some potion for sleeping—he put it in fast.
Up on the rooftop he heard a great thump,
and into a glass the potion he dumped.
He set it on the mantle, next to a stocking,
and froze on the spot when he heard someone talking.
“Why do we have to go up on the roof?”
“To fool the kids; they won’t have any proof.”
The mouse crept behind a nativity scene,
And took out his weapon, a dried up green bean.
A slither in the chimney, a crash in the grate,
And out came the Santa, not a minute too late.
The eyes of a child peered out from the stairs,
But St. Nick continued his work unawares.
He put money in one stocking, right up to the brim,
and coal in the ones that did not belong to him.
The other voice yelled, “Are you done Billy Bob?”
So Santa gulped the eggnog then fell like a dog.
“Just one minute” he mumbled already asleep,
And the other voice grumbled and pounded its feet.
Then the mouse did go back into its hole,
Thinking the action was done, into bed he did roll.
The kid went to bed, sucking its thumb,
This story could be over but it’s not yet done.
A clatter of hooves, the thump of a sled,
The tiny small mouse flew out of his bed.
The true Santa came down the chimney, landing in the fireplace,
Stepped out looking happy, although ashen-faced.
He said to the other, crumpled up on the floor,
“You’ll wish you had never done this before.
And he took the coal stockings, dumped them onto the fraud,
Covering the face of un-poor Billy Bob.
He filled the stockings up to the brim with toys,
But only the ones for the good girls and boys.
For Billy Bob was a boy, who lived in that house,
And he always was trying to catch the poor mouse,
By taking advantage of his little sis,
He didn’t have a very merry Christmas.
Our story ends here, it really is done,
Be sure to be good, but still have some fun.
If you obey and stay in good cheer,
You may hear Santa shout

“Have a happy new year”!

yays!

Object of the Game: to win the Grand Prize, one must complete all of these books within the one week time frame before anyone else does. There will also be prizes for 2nd and 3rd place as well as prizes for all finishers. There may also be a team competition, in which people can join a team. whichever team has the highest score (a compilation of percent finished, how fast people went,etc.etc.) gets an additional prize which can be divided amongst its members.

entry: open to anyone and everyone. there will also be a children’s competition consisting of either A) one book  or B) how far you can read in a few hours.(open to entrants under 12(they can also compete normally if desired)). I will create an entrance form and I think the fee will be two dollars (to cover the cost of prizes. I will keep none as profit)

date is subject to change if a large number of people have major conflicts (more than 24hrs.total)

note:If I do not know where you live, you will receive no prizes so you do not have to pay the entrance fee.
