Twas the night before Christmas at Treks in Sci Fi
By moyer777



Twas the night before Christmas and all through the forum,
not a poster was posting not even a quorum,
Jedi Jeff was collecting minimates by the score,
In hope that UPS had brought him some more,

Kenny was moderating, just getting ready for bed
With visions of Hogwarts dancing in his head,
When through our speakers came a familiar sound fast,
It was Rico and he was doing a special Christmas eve podcast...

He had invited us all to join in the fun,
He and his friends, including his MSUfan son.
So Duffster brought a book, what a nice guy,
And reminded us all to read more sci fi!

That was what started what seemed like a whirl
As the posts started mounting from our resident geek girl!
It was Jen and she and Angela were making angels in the snow
Hoping to do a live chat on their anomaly show.

BryanCD showed up and started singing a song
It was something about jingle bells and a triathlon
Markinro chimed in and razzed Rico for a sec
He exclaimed in a loud voice, you watch to much TREK!

Rico of course responded by going out on a limb
And with a command from his chair sicked Kaylee on him.
Just X said hold it, I've got to take score
And then left the forum to write a bit more.

Ktrek showed up and had something to say
He debated the pros and cons of going blue ray.
Wso32 while staying in France
Exclaimed that it was his Christmas wish like Rico to dance

Rico said HEY this is a bunch of dribble
And proceed to wish a Merry Christmas to his tribble.
StartrekFanatic 5, Kenny we all know,
Said Hey guys, make this quick, I have to produce another show.

The dr. from the RPG, Iceman to us on the board,
Logged on to the forum and struck a nice chord
He was building a model to give to davekill
But stopped for a moment for another pain pill.

Pickard said Hey Icey, hope you get better,
Then played with his kids till the little one's  diaper got wetter.
Kinglinksr was studying for a final in algebra
While taking small breaks to conquer in Zelda.

Moyer showed up a regular fixture
And posted some cool internet pictures
While reading posts he took a few pokes
But no one laughed at his corny pun jokes.

Four lights joined in with 777 to make two
And the both of them made the father and son review
Our friends with cool accents of course had to say
That they loved Trek and they lived in the UK

And not to leave out or put asunder
Was jobeydrone and others from the land down under
And who could bother but to feel such a prussia
Cause here came our friend John from Russia

Spidey27 piped up and in the know
While commenting on all of his favorite science fiction shows.
Psikeyhacker agreed and gave his two cents as well
Proclaiming that out of them all DS9 rocked do tell.

As the night went on pepper dude showed up in the mix
While a really nice guy commented a bunch, it was billybob 476
He knew a little about everything and liked Rico a bunch
But had to run to prepare his sack lunch.

Just when it really started to get fun,
Guess who joined in?  It was wraith1701
He told Rico how much he loved his podcast
And then noticed the amount of his posts was rising fast!

Blackride was among us and thought he heard Santa
We had all eaten too many cookies and were looking for Malanta
He chuckled as he gave his awesome perspective
And wowed us all with his comments circumspective.

All sorts of people from all over the world
Joined in to discussions as subjects unfurled
Thanking Rico cause he's such a cool guy
The group said merry Christmas treks in sci fi!

Just then a big ship hovered over Rico's car
It was bob and his side kick Mr. Gebular
The stars were shimmering due to the snow
As the aliens proclaimed, take us to your Rico.

So many had joined that it just had to stop
They should be sleeping said Rico in thought
So with that our leader proclaimed oh so bright,
To all a Merry Christmas and a warp speed good night!

Very cool!  It must have been tough to fit all of our names in there.  I like it! ;D  :thumbsup

[Bryancd]

I finally had a chance to listen to the last 2 podcasts and heard this poem, Rick. It's awesome and what was so appropriate is that I was out on a 12 mile run when I heard it, so you nailed me! I actually laughed out loud!

[Blackride]

Yeah I just listened to them also during my run. Great job Rick!

[space_invader64]

Very Nice!

[moyer777]
