Twas the night before Christmas in 2054
The only sound being robotic mice on the floor
Our digital wish-lists were hung with ultra-precision
above the virtual fireplace in pre-supposition
for the anticipated arrival of a hypothetical being.
The miniature adults were dormant in their pods
As eidolon confiture twinkled their nods
while responsible progenitors with 'Bed Head" applied
had concluded their thoughts for the long Winter night.
Then out on the Astroturf there began such a frattle
Startled from our beds to witness the sprattle
We opened the Security cams to survey the scene
frame by frame we analyzed what we were seeing
The spotlight that shone on the new fallen snow,
Gave circumfulgence to our false mistletoe
At that very moment a freeze frame laid bare
a cutting edge sleigh and eight automated deer,
With a jovial driver all dressed in Scarlett
I knew it must be the Santa of myth
and although his reindeer were mechanical frames
He recited out loudly and called all their names
Come Bolter, come Byte-r come Laser
and Algorithm, Come Orbiter, Come Thyristor,
Come Thunder and Mixem
And he circled the rooftop in a Gigabyte of starlight
shouting LOL-LOL- as his sleigh zoomed skyward.
