Ode to November 26th


Hey all, Well the vote is in and the Holiday that won is immortalized below in poem. Hope you enjoy it, it's a subject that is very near to my heart.

The Day They Fought 

The following was recovered from a journal written by a young Norwegian man named Hans Veederman. It was written the day after that tragic day when some many gave their all to stop what could easily have been the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. These are his words. Possibly his last as the final verse remains unfinished. The Journal and Hans’s remains were found trapped in the magma flow from the volcano that was set off after the encounter by the retreating forces in an attempt to destroy those who followed. Peace be to both to the defenders and Hans, who may have left the only written eye witness account of events. Mostly due to the participants remarkable modesty, and their refusal to admit they had done anything that impressive. We the heads of the National Steve Day Foundation humbly present his words. Thank You. (Translated from Hans original language which we believe to be some sort of Spanish.)

Twas a chill upon the air as they came marching up the beach.
A hundred cities lay in waste and a hundred more stood in their path.
The line was drawn deep in the rock by scores of fearless folks
Twere Steve’s, Steven’s, Stephen’s, Stephanie’s, and a dozen Estaban’s

They stood with grins upon their faces a content and happy lot
Suspecting most would not survive their voices joined in song
The words of John, Paul, George, and Ringo did waft across the field
They steeled themselves and watched as the enemy approached

The villains let the first volley fly and many Steve’s did fall
A wail of rage grew in their throats and the fight was truly on
They joined the battle now in full and met their foes every wave
The soldiers, tanks, and battle mechs, followed close by flying sharks

Guns were fired, swords were swung, and laser tripwire monkeys were unleashed
The tide was close and many fell both friend and foe alike
The enemy began to win their countless numbers on their side
The evil tide of so many names where ours were only Steve

The light of hope began to fade as the vile navy sailed ashore
Their mighty ships bristling with guns and men
And then the mighty Kracken rose to tower above it all
But light of light the tide then turned for the Krackens name was Steve

The day was won, the world was saved, our enemy did flee
And all upon the world at large the light of love will shine
For the hope and help of the selfless few
Those wonderful ones named


Sadly that is where the poem ends and we may never know how it carries on from their. But in memory of that horrible day where so many gave their lives for all of us we remember the Steve’s of the world. So please remember the ideas of National Steve Day; first in remembrance of their laidback nature the official clothing of Steve Day is a Hawaiian or Bowling shirt, second to pay homage to their need to see that those around them are joyful and happy we eat the two happiest of food nachos and hot wings, third do something nice for someone else because it’s what a Steve would do. This is Tim Jeffries reminding everyone to have a Stevetastic day.


Well there you go, hope you enjoyed it. I would also like to point out, because I have been accused of it, my birthday is in July so this is not about me it's just a happy accident that I happen to also be named Steve.

If you liked the poem leave a comment below or head on over to my facebook page and leave something there. I promise to try and comment. Until next time have a Stevetastic day or Stevetabulous your choice.
