Have Yourself a Pyslent Little Christmas
December 24th, 2010, 4:11pm by JakeTwas the night before Christmas, and on our website
All had stopped posting, and comments were light
WordPress now running The Board with due care
No fear of server crash at the end of this year.
Four children were nestled, all snug in their beds
While visions of gadgets danced in dads’ heads
The Pats and Chiefs playing well once again
Should they meet in the playoffs, what will we do then?
Out on the internet arose such a clatter
I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter
Flipped open the Joli, ’twas on in a flash
Checked Twitter & email, this Chromium’s a smash
The internet was crazy, I’d never seen such a flurry
But I must be quick, I must be in a hurry
Then I just saw him, almost did not catch it.
It’s Rotiveo– the patron saint of gadgets!
Rotiveo wore Mobile Pants, size extra tall
And his clothes were vibrating, must be a phone call
Brought a load of gadgets, and even a game
And he whistled, and shouted and called sites by name
“Now Groupon! Now Apple! Now Target and Best Buy!
To Starbucks! To Costco! To Sprint Store and Fry’s”
All over the web, he searched high and searched low
To find all the stuff, now it’s ready to go!
All across the internet, Rotiveo he flew
A storm of traffic he did see in his rear view
He found the best deals, on the very best gear
It’s so cutting edge, it will still be good next year.
The net’s overflowing with really good stuff
Getting it to work might be kind of tough
With all sorts of cords and fifty kinds of plugs
(For us early adopters, we’re used to the bugs)
Rotiveo’s got just the right thing for us all
No Kin, Foleo, nor ‘lectronic pinball
Instead it’s Droids, Mac Airs and iPads galore,
Paper guitars, iPhones, Kindles and more!
Giant TVs, they are perfect for games
Phones from Samsung, RIMM, and a bunch of no-names
With a fast prime lens, photos come out quite well.
All of these gadgets are really, really swell
The three seven eights second Christmas together
There’ll be much joy and fun, no matter the weather
To Kelvin, Serena, Montana & Lucas
Happily splashing in puddles, even on Christmas
Jake prepares another half marathon run,
This one he organized, will be the most fun
Derrick, Emily, Brandon & Tiffany
Having fun, in their growing family
Lucas’ fourth & Brandon’s sixth Christmas Eve
Montana always dreaming, of food I believe
Tiffany and Adam they know Christmas is grand
Too many toys to hold in two little hands.
Rotiveo sprang to Roomba (hacked years before)
And away they went, after cleaning the floor
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”

I was hoping you’d put together another masterpiece! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Yay! The tales get taller as we all get older!
Merry X-mas everyone! And Happy Birthday D!
