"Twas the night before Christmas, and things sure did look bleak
Rudolph and the gang, well, they'd been hung over for a week!
Santa and the Elves had deep furrows in their brows...
Thinking that they might have to make do with cows!
For surely the deer couldn't be whipped into shape..
'specially after so much nectar o' the grape!
So the minds were clashing and grindin', looking for a source...
To get those toys delivered on time, as was the usual course!
When over in the corner, underneath a car cover...
An apprentice Elf did spy, the answer to the dilemma, as if seeing a new
lover!
He proclaimed to the fat guy; " I've got it , of course!"
"Let's do it with wheels, and start with this horse"
Now the whole room turned to gaze on the Pinto, unused for two decades...
"Nah, with this load , it'll never pull the grades!"
But the fat guy winked, and said;" Not so fast!"
" I know a few tricks , that'll kick up the blast!"
So off to the shop, the large one did go...
And returned with the scrolls titled; "How not to go Slow"
It seemed like the whole place had gone crazy,
As they debated the way to get the power off the term; "Lazy"
So the great one had to finally compromise..
He went for Boost and Control, and didn't tell any lies!
The end result , you may yet get to see...
If you look to the evening sky, at a quarter to three!
For the bearded one, is out doin' test runs...
As we sleep away, warm as hot cross buns!
"Oh , what'll happen to the deer?" You may want to say...
They're doin fine, Racin' for pink slips, this very day!
Merry Christmas all...
The Pintosopher
