I posted this last year, and thought I would post it again. I couldn't be bothered modifying it...
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The children were buggered - they'd worn themselves out,
destroying the place to find their presents' hideout.
The Agent's in bits (the season was over),
and spread through the shed, in a nice even cover.
Now Christmas had drained me, I'd spent all my cash
on stuff that the kids will break in a flash.
Next season would be tight, and we would have to make do
without some of the luxuries, like paper in the loo.
So the budget was written and my head was now clear,
I could enjoy the next morning (with the aid of some beer).
Soon after I dozed off, I awoke to a noise
that came from the shed - the place of my toys!
"Robbers!" I cried, as I grabbed a big bat,
"I'll shove this so deep that you'll shriek like a cat!"
I opened the door of the shed with great care,
and Bugger Me! Santa was standing right there!
"What the hell are you doing?" I said, jaw ajar,
"You never go messing with another man's car!"
But on looking around, What a wonderful sight!
The stuff that he'd brought in the dark of the night!
New harnesses! New helmets! And a new driving suit!
A pair of new boots, and some tyres for the ute!
Terratrip, Terraphone, and plenty of tools!
A pair of new Sparcos, and some quality fuels!
There's Proflex! And Pagids! And bloody big rotors!
That's Hollinger! And here's stuff for 3 brand new motors!
New rims with new tyres in two massive mounds
marked "Pirelli" and "Michelin" in different compounds.
And right in the middle of this wonderful stuff,
a brand-spanking new EVO, to top it all off!
I stood there just gob-smacked. He had just changed my life!
"I love you!" I said "Please, sleep with my wife!"
His eyes then met mine and the smile left his face
"I'm sorry, I thought this was Mark Banyard's place..."
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
