I got this in my email and it's just too funny:

> > T'was the night before Christmas, I swung on the

> > With snowflakes a'landing, asleep with my book
> > When up on the deck I heard footsteps and stuff
> > "I've been boarded!" I thought, and I tried to be
> > tough
> > Then down the companionway hatch came a dude
> > He was dressed like a nut and I thought, "I'm so
> > screwed"
> > But he laughed and he hummed as he surveyed my
> junk
> > So I figured he must be the resident drunk
> > His eyes were lit up like a junkie on speed
> > But he gave me a whole bunch of stuff that I need
> > Like rum and cigars and new charts and a dinghy
> > And some kind of fancy electrical thingy
> > I knew it was stolen but I wasn't telling
> > I just hoped he was giving and wasn't just selling
> > And I poured him a grog which he downed with a
> wink
> > Then I poured one for me (Lord I needed a drink!)
> > Then he staggered above to the dark snowy night
> > As I peeked I beheld an incredible sight
> > Eight tiny dolphins and a beautiful sleigh
> > And the dude hopped aboard and prepared to make

> > The dolphins were ready to power the sled
> > But the guy raised a genny and mains'l instead
> > With a burp and a chuckle he gathered the breeze
> > And called to the dolphins, now swimming with ease
> > "Hey Stalker and FEMA and Cancer and Nixon!
> > Or Stinky and Pepper Spray, Mason, and Dixon!
> > Or whatever your names are, you cute little

> > Here's to every last sailor, my best Christmas

> > As he sailed away leaving a wobbly wake
> > I hoped he had not many stops left to make
> > He got close to shore and he soon was aground
> > But the dolphins proceeded to pull him around
> > And I heard him exclaim as he sailed out of sight
> > Happy Christmas to all... and to all a goodnight"
