CUMaSKini 17/12/12: CUMaS Hoodies Deadline Approaching!, Ichiro Christmas Buffet Lunch

Twas the week before Christmas, when all through Cambridge
Not a student was stirring, safe in their college.
Their hoodies were old, full of dust and dirt,

Please order quite soon, the deadline is near,
Oh, Ichiro buffet lunch, is that what I hear?
And us here at CUMaS, say to you with delight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
