Ripple's Night Before Christmas
This is contributed to XRP the Standard Productions from a prominent community member and we'd like to dedicate it to all of the XRP holders out there who, like us, have lost over 50% of their net worth thanks to the recent panic caused by the SEC...
RIPPLE'S NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
'Twas the night before Christmas
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even Brad Garlinghouse;
The Stockings were hung
By the chimney with care,
In hopes that XRP price would soon be there…
And Ma in her kerchief
And I in my cap,
Had just settled down
To a long winter`s nap
When out on the lawn
There arose such a clatter,
Shit! It`s Jay Clayton with an SEC 'unregistered securities' matter
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but an SEC lawsuit creating uncertainty and fear
With a little old driver so lively and quick
I knew in a moment, this guy from the SEC is a Dick!
More rapid than eagles his courses they came,
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name
'Now FINCEN, FINRA, CFTC, DOJ,
Treasury, IRS, SEC and the Fed
Now dash away, dash away, dash away!'
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney Jay Clayton came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of fines and penalties and fees
He looked like a crook telling everyone to get on their knees
His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, but Ripple said, 'You ain't getting this cherry!'
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook while he watched the fines and fees tally
He was chubby and plump—a right jolly old Dick
I thought to myself, 'there ain't no way this dude is St. Nick!'
He spoke not a word but went straight to work,
And filled all the stocking with coal, not Zerps!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
'Don`t forget we are the SEC, Bitches, and to all a Good Night!'
