Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the list
Not a keyboard was stirring
To weave a plot twist

When up on the Web
There arose spam, no lesser
I sprang to my Windows
And opened my word processor

I worked on my fanfic
Unfinished and scattered
Just eight tiny paragraphs
Would settle the matter

The plot had been woven
Along the outline with care
In the hopes that C & C er's
Would have insights to share

So when I was ready
To send words with much fervor
I fired up the Winsock
And called to my server

On Ascii, on Unix, on BinHex, on Dos
On Word Wrap, on Mail Queue, on Edit and Toss

My message of hope
Flew faster than pen
It could have been sooner
If we'd had ISDN

But the story arrived
Before morning's light
A Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night
