It was the night before Christmas,
Well, when you're in space its always night, just about,
And poor Mike began to pout,
He bought all his gift over the net,
Something that would put him into debt.

But Pearl, like the Grinch, dressed in green,
Refused to send up the gift, boy was she mean!
In the castle down below,
Pearl was making sure there were no "Ho Ho ho's".

She was awake drinking a beer,
Making sure she didn't get coal this year,
For by the fireplace she set up huge bear trap,
To get Santa right in his... umm, mat.

Now Mike giftless and sad
Knew Christmas would be bad.
This was no whoville or some sappy story,
He knew the bot's would be crying the next morning.

There lay the bot's in their sleeping quarters,
Dreaming of those bad movies sent by Forrester,
Mike laid down to get some rest,
And just try'n hope for the best.

With all sudden the SOL rocked like it was hit,
Zooming past the window there was cool rocket ship,
Mike went to see what it was,
Only see ole Mr. Claus.

Santa had a space suit, he was no fool,
And his sled/ rocket ship was real cool,
As his reindeer came into dock
Their hooves made some noise... oh heck, it was a lot.

Santa got out sled and some how got in,
Mike guessed by smell by garbage bin,
Santa got cleaned up and with his magic,
Pulled out his bag that had lots of packages.

Santa went to work, he didn't slack,
So Mike went up and tapped him on the back,
Santa scream and gave Mike light whack to the head,
He shouldn't scared Santa and should have been in bed.

"Sorry," said Santa. "I came to this ship shaped like a bone,
"You have all been good but I can't send you all home,
"My sled or I don't have the power,
"Plus I have so many houses to visit this hour."

Mike sighed a sad "Okay" but still mad that Santa attacked
Then Santa pulled out new Swimsuit Sport Illustrated and a cold six pack.
Then Mike gave Santa a hive five,
He really was one awesome guy.

And the gifts and decorations were all set,
Santa worked quick, you can bet,
He also restored Mike's credit without any cost,
He saved the Christmas Mike had thought was lost.

Then after all that, Santa had to go,
Back out into space and into the cold,
And before Mike's eyes,
Did Santa disappear and fly.

Before he left Santa did yell,
"Merry Christmas!" over trails of jingle bells,
And the Bot's finally did awake,
It was about time, for goodness sakes.

Mike told the bot's everything,
From Santa coming to the bells that were still jingling,
The bot's looked Mike like he was mad,
But saw the presents and were glad.

They shared gift and had a good time,
(Boy, I'm glad I'm almost done with this rhyme)
This is the end story I do fear,
So have good holiday season this year!
