Twelve Pains of Christmas

by Phoenix

Disclaimer: I don't own Voltron or this song. I am not sure who exactly owns this song (webmistress note- the Bob Travers Comedy Crew? Something like that), but I butchered it anyway. Unless ya want alot of college bills, don't sue me cause that is all ya are going to get from me. I hope y'all enjoy! ^_^

The curtain opens to reveal a Christmas tree in the middle of the ballroom of the Castle of Lions. Keith is next to the tree trying to string the lights on it. Sven is sitting near Keith with a couple of empty bottles of whiskey next to him. He looks dazed (Gee, I wonder why). In one corner of the room, Hunk is sitting at a desk with a huge stack of cards next to him. Lance is looking frantic, and Lotor is whining to Allura. Haggar is looking at a map and looking pretty pissed off. Pidge is looking confusingly at the back of a toy, and Nanny is flipping channels on the TV. Coran and Zarcon are staring at the carols in their hands. Alford is floating above them. The music starts.

Alford: (singing, WAY off key) The first thing of Christmas that’s such a pain to me is finding a Christmas tree.

Alford: The second thing of Christmas that’s such a pain to me.....

Keith: (looking mad, though you can't tell by his face yet) Riggin’ up the lights

Alford: And finding a Christmas tree.
