'Twas the Night before Christmas

Oh, where could they find
Another to lead
Another to run
Through fog with great speed?They searched high,
They searched low
For someone to fill in
'Cuz Autokeen did go....------------------

Awakened by Gav,
Nate sprang from the bed!
He forgot it was a bunk, though,
and WHAM! whacked his head.Still he quickly got up,
And was at the comp in flash.
He couldn't believe it,
but the server had crashed!"It's hopeless," he said,
"Keenspace is doomed."
Then his computer exploded,
with a mighty FWACKOOM!Then all of a sudden,
on the roof of the dorm,
They was a really loud noise,
which was really the norm.But this wasn't a drunkard,
with his Guinness and 'nog -
Oh no, it was Santa!
he'd flown there through the fog.------------------

But it was an evil Santa!
An evil mecha-robo Claus.
His entire program
Had been written about "Oz."People were doomed
With no time to take
A good hiding shelter
As HBO has no commercial breaks.The people all stared.
David Spade as a llama?
Didn't we see an evil robo-Santa
On Futurama?------------------

But Gav was quite fast,
he knew what to do!
Because as we all know,
his head's missing a screw.He grabbed a tall jug,
blue hair dye, of course!
Then he threw it at Santa,
and he felt no remorse!------------------

Just thought this might be fun, we could all do a nice Keenspace christmas poem, each continuing fromt he others post! I'll even start....Twas the night before christmas,
and all through the house
not a nipple was spotted,
not even a titmouse!There was a party tonight
who was invited you needn't ask...
there were sporks, there were 'gunz,
Nerdz, and men with jason masks.This is tougher than I thought! Anyone else got anything?~Steve------------------

The artists wished they were nestled,
all snug in their beds.
But still visions of Keenspot,
danced in their heads.Of course we all know,
they'll get royally screwed.
We'll be on Keenspace FOREVER,
just me and my crew.------------------

Damonk was in Canada,
Maboo was in Britain
And Paul in Chicago
In warm woolen mittens.The pens were all capped,
The comics were posted
On Keenspace's server
Where we are all hosted.Waiting for midnight
became such a chore
"You're twelfth in the queue,
Wait 5 minutes or more."When up from the eGroup
Arose such a ruckus
"The server is down!
They're trying to ... mess with us!"Chris and Gav were awakened
To deal with the crowd
But -Son of a Grinch-
AutoKeen wasn't found!The tireless workhorse
On which Keenspace was run
Had left us a note:
"I'm on vacation."------------------
