Twas the Night before Christmas Poem
By Clement Moore
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Keep
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Creep.
The doors and the windows were locked tight with care,
In hopes that St. Notch so soon would be there.
The sheep were all nestled all snug in their pens,
Shivering from the cold against their shaven backends,
My armor and sword rested low in its chest
I settled to bed for a long winter's rest.
When low to mine ears did arise such a sound,
So urgently I sprung to have a look around.
Down the stairs, out the door, I sprinted with haste,
Past fountain and gate, no time left to waste.
The square moon rose high in the pixilated sky
Illuminating such a sight to my wondering eye.
Such a sight to behold, I stood there a brash
Behold! What is this? The scene of a sleigh crash!
Amidst the wreckage and flame, a lone figure emerged.
Sporting a grin not even the carnage could purge.
As the gifts of poor children and his reindeer did burn
He waved a gloved hand and started to turn.
With holiday magic such as any coder could muster.
He retrieved his gifts and started to bluster.
"Curse these elves and their dreaded shortcuts!"
"When I get back to Mojang, I'm canning their butts!"
He turned back to me and said with a grin,
"I've need of your help, garth. Where to begin?"
"A sleigh with some power to finish my task,"
"A means to an end is all that I ask!"
I set to the task of building his need,
In Creative Game Mode, my mind was freed.
Grab some planks, grab some iron. I'll need just a few.
Some redstone and fences. Yes, that should do!
He napped as I worked, content as could be,
I was kind of perturbed that he didn't help me.
But swallow my pride I must in devotion,
What I needed right now was an engine for motion.
Connect Piston to redstone and add a device,
Something to trigger. Yes, that should work nice.
I worked through the night, eager to please.
The bite of the cold caused my fingers to freeze!
St. Notch awoke to the sound of my work.
He yawned and he stretched, nibbled some pork.
With a smile so wide, he said, "That's a fine thing!"
His presents were loaded and he started to sing.
He climbed right aboard and checked out his rig,
He laughed and jumped, he dance a fine jig.
"Christmas is saved! Grab your hat! Hold on tight!"
Seeing him rejoice was magical sight.
He signaled his ready and I moved to the switch.
Untested, untried, how my fingers did itch!
I grabbed hold of the lever and pulled it with glee!
What would it do? I couldn't wait to see!
Remember that I tried my best, right from the start,
But alas, poor St. Notch... I blew him apart...
With the deepest regrets and memories so dear,
I have to inform you... Christmas is cancelled this year.
WoW so very well done I Love it, ty Garth for the hard work you put into it. Hope you and your family have a great christmas.
