'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the shop
Not a lathe was spinning, not even a mini,
The tools was placed by the dust collector with care,
In hopes that some cleaning would be near ;
The blanks was placed on the shelf with care,
While visions of pens danced in their heads;
And mother in her 'smock', and I in mine;
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out in the drveway there was such a clatter,
I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
to see what had happened or who had crashed.
The head light was bright on the new-fallen snow , a car hit the power pole,
Gave the lustre as the transformer blew of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a ambulance, and eight tiny emts,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Jeff.
More rapid than a post to guess the weight ,
And he screamed, and shouted, and called them names;
"Now, Cav! now, Daniel! now, Princess and Monty!
On, Bob! on Skip! on, maxwell and Ed!
To the computer! to the penturners forum!
Now post away! post away! post away all!"
to see who can have the most all,
the computer crashes came,
And I yelled and shouted ,
at my computer in vain,
As fast as the shaving pile in the floor,
He came up to the house to see whats the matter .
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
He spoke not a word,
but muttered as he worked,
With the power on and internet up .
He could no longer stay,
for his team gave a whistle.
And then to his team gave a whistle,
And away they drove
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
to all , and all a good night.
PS the names was changed to protect the innociant
Marry Christmas All
