He was inexperienced in deep cave diving, a complete stroke no less, And I laughed when I saw the photo of him in spite of myself, The red of his eyes, and the uncontrolled twitching of his head, Gave to me a certain feeling of dread, He spoke not a wod, but went straight to mission control, Gave back the untouched line reel, then began to Blarney console, As another mutant laid a Rebreather on the side of a Klingon Cruiser, Sponsors must be wondering if Stone is a loser, To the Klingon Cruiser a diver sprang, as Stone gave a whistle, And away they all flew around the basin or restriction like a thistle, But I heard a diver exclaim, as he quit the team and drove out of sight, Holy Shit, George and his WKPP team has been the ones Right! Happy X-Mas to all, and to all a good night!
