Christmas Verses I Wrote For Abuzz

I wish I hadn't the lost the tiny bit of creativity I had, so that I could add something of value to this thread. For some reason, that's the effect that studying technology has on me. So I guess I'll just "bookmark".

Have you actually got the original thread edgar? I'd love to see it again, without the interjections of that other person (it's coming back to me now).

Merry Bloody christmas

Twas the night before christmas,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring...

Except for me trying to put together a bloody swing set!!!

Merry, bloody, Ho-Ho!
Where do all these nuts go?
Nothing fits, I've cracked the shits,
It's messing with my head!

And this pissy little spanner,
Doesn't help in any manner,
These worthless bolts are purely jokes,
I've stripped the frigging thread!

What evil little engineer,
Tanked up on too much christmas cheer,
Devised this mess, is anyone's guess?
If I track him down, he's dead!

"Join Bracing Bracket 'C'
To Supporting Leg marked 'D'..."
Where's guide hole 'L'? Oh, bloody hell,
I just want to go to bed!

It says easy to construct -
Well, they can all just go get fucked!
It's total crap, I need a nap,
Should have gone with the pony instead!

Signed, Santa

PS: next christmas, why don't you extinguish the fire when you go to bed -- so I don't have to piss on it when I get stuck in your ******* chimney because you haven't had it cleaned in ten years!?

The joy of being a father at xmas!

I love that poem.

Wishing you a peaceful and very happy Christmas, Edgar

Endy

DadPad, that's great!

Merry, endy.

I think I will post the entire thread, if I am able to figure it out. Not sure which day I will accomplish that.

Correction. So far, I cannot locate the file.

good luck finding that edgar

i know what that's like

Apparently, I no longer have it.

A bump for 2008

I want to begin a new thread, in which a2k members contribute by writing their own little verses, or prose, even, to further telling the tale of Santa's journey. I tried this early on with a2k, but did not make it sufficientl plain what was the objective, and it got immediately derailed. If I get at least two or three affirmative replies, I will launch it. What say you? Are you game?

I think a few of the verses here are pertinent this year as never before

Once again it's time to roust out the jolly fat man. Merry Christmas to one and all.

Santa was cranky, the elves were all drunk
The sleigh wasn’t loaded, he was still in the bunk
His wife didn’t wake him, she let him sleep in
He was cranky as hell and as dirty as sin

His reindeers were wandering all over the park
Twas an hour before sunrise and it was still dark
When an angel came in, dragging a tree
And said to the old bloke, “Hi Santa it’s me.

I’m here with the tree, decorations and all
Should it go in the centre, or there ‘gainst the wall
Where should I stick it Santa? said she
And that’s why today, where ever you be
You’ll see that sweet angel --- stuck up on the tree.... The Anointed.

I didn't write that.
