A Webmaster's
Night Before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas,
and all through the house.
Not a creature was stirring
except me with my mouse.
My wife, and kids were all snug in their beds,
while visions of Funpages danced in their heads
(Hey, I've gotta try 'em out on somebody!)
And me at my puter, coffee by my side,
while vainly to build a new Funpage I tried.
Then from the living room there came such a noise,
The cat knocked over the tree, and the dogs were in the toys!
I picked up the mess, the tree, and decorations,
and silently wished Santa would bring inspiration!
There came a knock at the door, and I looked out to see,
A bearded guy in red, and he was waving at me.
(We don't have a chimney)
In the yard were nine deer, one with a nose of red,
all standing there hitched to a toy laden sled.
The man coming through the door was so lively and quick,
I knew in an instant it must be Saint Nick.
Quick as a flash, much too fast to see,
He piled all the presents under the tree.
He ate all the cookies, and drank the milk too
then smiled and said, "Webmaster I have something for you!"
You work hard to bring fun to folks 'round the nation
so for you dear webmaster, I bring Inspiration.
You always give much yet little you take,
Here are ideas for Funpages, a whole year of them to make!
Ideas for funny pages, and pretty pages, and prank pages too,
sprang into my head so I can build them for you.
He then closed his sack, and jumped onto his sled,
I simply stood there, slowly shaking my head.
As he sailed out of sight, into the drifting snow,
I stood in the doorway, sorry to see him go.
As I went back to my keyboard I began to feel not so bad,
Because I realized the Greatest gift, I already had.
My website may not make me much money it's true,
But I'm a very Rich man because,
I have friends such as You!
