'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through ehMacland
The members were restless
For no reason at hand
The stockings were hung
Near the land's city hall
Where ehMax was busy
Writing on his Facebook wall
Dr. G. was so busy
Celebrating Hanukkah you see
That he didn't notice the doxie
Take a leak on his tree
CubaMark sat at his keyboard
Typing from afar
His most recent thread
About some old car
And over in politics
groovetube was making his stand
As screature was correcting
his views of the land
Wintootoo was posting
More jokes for the crew
While KC4 applauded
Her appreciation too
The Christmas movie thread
Was doing its best
To include the views
Of most of the rest
On Ottawaman, on mrjimmy
To the top of the thread
Filling BigDL and kps
With nothing but dread
CanadaRam and Joker Eh
Just wanted to cry
When they saw posts by
MLeh and old steviewhy
Oakbridge and Kelman
Were nervous as well
Thinking iLabmAn and egremont
Were ringing a bell
While over in 'insults'
Some classy, some not
fellfromtree and Aurora
Were making things hot
MacDoc didn't care
He was busy with links
But FeXL kept saying
Once again something stinks
And over in Two Word
The game was amiss
As jamesB and Kazak
Refused to use kiss
While nervous about it
Sonal purchased a kilt
She wanted to give it
To her mentor tilt
But many more members
Thought all was just swell
And told the rest present
To just, well . . .
In closing I say
I just have to think
That most of you here
Didn't expect this of SINC
So a sincere Merry Christmas
To everyone here
In spite of some differences
Please be of good cheer.
In the interest of full disclosure, I wrote such a thing for the staff of every newspaper I ever managed over the years and always included every single staff name. ehMac is a bit big for that, but I did give it a shot.
