A friend of mine posted this to my board; it obviously belongs here.  Enjoy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

          To all the elves at ChipSoft from ChipSoft Minneapolis:

          Twas the night before release and all through the house,
               Not a program was working, not keyboard or mouse.
          The programmers stared at their tubes in despair,
               With hopes that a miracle soon would be there.
          The users were nestled all snug in their beds,
               While visions of final releases danced in their heads.
          When out in the lobby there arose such a clatter,
               I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.
          And what to my wondering eyes should appear,
               But a super programmer (with a six-pack of beer).
          His resume glowed with experience so rare,
               He turned out great code with a bit-pusher's flair.
          More rapid than eagles, his programs they came,
               And he cursed and muttered and called them by name.
          On Update!  On Transfer!  On Build!  On Delete!
               On Batch Jobs!  On Closings!  On Functions Complete!
          His eyes were glazed over, fingers nimble and lean,
               From weekends and nights in front of a screen.
          A wink of his eye and a twitch of his head,
               Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
          He spoke not a word, but went straight to this work,
               Turning specs into code; then turned with a jerk.
          And laying his finger upon the "ENTER" key,
               The system came up and worked perfectly.
          The updates updated; the deletes, they deleted;
               The transfers transferred, and the closing completed.
          He tested each whistle, and tested each bell,
               With nary a bomb, and all had gone well.
          The system was finished, the tests were concluded,
               The users last changes were even included.
          And the user exclaimed with a snarl and a taunt,
               "It's just what I asked for, but not what I want!"

          Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all and
          best of luck on your releases.

A ST:TNG CHRISTMAS
 
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the ship
Not a circuit was buzzing, not one microchip;
The phasers were hung in the arm'ry securely,
In hope that no aliens would get up that early.
 
The crewmen were nestled all snug in their bunks--
except for the few who were partying drunks;
And Picard in his nightshirt, and Bev in her lace,
Had just settled down for a neat face to face...
 
When out in the halls there arose such a racket,
That we lept from our beds pulling on pants and a jacket.
Away to the lifts we all shot like a gun,
Leapt into the cars and yelled loudly, "Deck One!"
 
The bridge Red-ALert lights, which flashed throught the din,
Gave a luster of Hades to objects within.
When, what, on the viewscreen, should our eyes behold,
But a weird kind of sleigh, and some geek who looked old.
 
But the glint in his eyes was so strange and askew,
That we know in a moment it had to be Q.
His sleigh grew much larger the closer he came,
Then he zapped on the bridge and addressed us by name;
 
"It's Riker!  It's Data!  It's Worf and Jean-Luc!
It's Geordi!  And Wesley, the genetic fluke!
To the top of the bridge, to the top of the hall!
Now float away, float away, float away all!"
 
As leaves in autumn are whisked off the street,
So the floor of the bridge came away from out feet,
And up to the ceiling our bodies they flew,
As the captain called out, "What's the meaning of this, Q!"
 
The prankster just laughed and expanded his grin,
And, snapping his fingers, he vanished again.
As we took in our plight and were looking around,
The spell was removed, and we crashed to the ground.
 
Then Q, dressed in fur from his head to his toe,
Appeared oonce again to continue the show.
"That's enough!" cried the Captain, "you'll stop this at once!"
And Riker said, "Worf!  Take your aim at this dunce!"
"I'm deeply offended, Jean-Luc," replied Q.
"I just wanted to spend Christmas with you."
 
As we scoffed at his words, he produced a large sack.
He dumped out the contents and took a step back.
"I've brought gifts," said he, "to show I'm sincere.
There's something delightfoul for everyone here."
He sat on the floor and dug into the pile,
And handed out gifts with his most charming smile.
 
"For Counselor Troi, thre's no need to explain,
Here's Tylenol-Beta for all of your pain.
For Worf, I've got mints as his breath's not too great,
And for Geordi LaForge, and inflatable date.
 
"For Wesley, some hormones, and Clearasil-Plus;
For Data, a joke book; for Riker, a truss.
For Beverly Crusher, there's sleek lingerie,
And for Jean-Luc, the thrill of seeing her that way."
 
Then he sprang to his feet with that grin on his face,
And clapping his hands, disappeared into space.
But we heard him exclaim as he dwindled from sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good flight!"

Would anyone here know how far away it is from OVFF or Marcon?  Is there
enough legally copyable lyric/music pages to justify the extra trip?  What
_do_ they have that is copyable that isn't easily available [If it was
in the 1987 OCP catalog, I consider it to be easily available. ;-]

Excellent research & rersource on info for fannish culture, including filk, is 
the book, _Textual Poachers:  Television Fans and Participatory Culture_, by
Henry Jenkins, Assistant Professor of Literature at Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology.  Ordering info as follows:
 
Paperback, $14.95 + $2.50 S&H, Routledge, New York, July 1992, 304 pp.
# 0 415 90572 9 #A7151

Or charge to AMEX, VISA, or MC:  212/244-6412.  Minimum $20.00 order
 
Above info is for US shipments only.  Canadian orders higher; call for info.
 

This was originally recommended by Meg Garrett of the LA Filkharmonics and
also librarian at UC Riverside in California.  Jane Mailander brought her copy 
to the December filk party & I got to scan the filk chapter briefly.  It's
*very* good, well researched & written.  Highly recommended for all libraries.
 
Also recommended is the book _FutureSpeak: A Fan's Guide to the Language of
Science Fiction_ by Roberta Rogow.  She has several entries for filk &
filking, also lyrics to _Hope Eyrie_ & _Banned From Argo_, plus the Filker's
R&R's by yours truly.  While the filk entries are very descriptive & good,
they do tend to have an East Coast bias and seem to be rather dated.  Again a 
must for the fannish reference library.
 
Hardbound, $24.95; paperback, $15.95. (c) 1991 by Roberta Rogow Paragon House, 
90 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY  10011
Available (probably) at most bookstores in either the SF section or the
reference (dictionary) section.

It is, of course, in the stringed instrument family. When picked, it is a
melodic, plucked instrument. When -frailed- (as I described it) it is, in
fact, being struck, not plucked.

In addition, the hand strikes the drumhead when striking the strings. To
think of it as a percussion instrument helps to put the novice player in
the proper "mindset" for the proper effects.

(speaking from 37 years of playing the banjo......:-) )

For the first of these, the best place to start would probably be the
Sime-Gen Songbook.  Find someone who has the current address of the
S-G fanzine (Ambrov Zeor).  That would be the address for the songbook too.
Or just send Lichtenberg mail via a publisher and ask.

Tonight (Monday, December 28th), Margaret Davis and Kristoph Klover
will perform Celtic and acoustic music at St. Michael's Alley, at
Emerson and Homer in Palo Alto. The music starts at 8, and I'll be
accompanying some of the songs in the second set on bass and synths.

St. Michaels' booking person is an unabashed fan of C&W and bluegrass,
and has mostly scheduled other genres for Monday and Tuesday nights --
the slowest nights of the week. Since the owners have decreed that
acts get booking preference according to how much food and drink are
sold when they perform, this means it's especially important to COME
AND BUY BEER (or at least coffee) when Celtic and filk performers show
up! So c'mon down, help support the cause, and listen to some good music.
Hope to see you there!

Oboe-y, you have just escaped the results of your bad conduct, and cornety
puns!  Kay was gonna give you a bat-on the head with the kabonger, forte times 
or until you cry for your uncle andante!  (I hear she looks good in tight
jeans.  Ooh, la la, bassoon!)  We better stop before we piano'ther person off 
and it all comes crescendo'wn around our ears.  That would be the pits.  So
let's triangle-ing for a way to get back on topic.  Anybody gonna chime in or 
pipe up with one?

Plain old 1st class mail probably wouldn't do much for  you, but  from what 
I've heard certified mail  can hold  some weight  in court.   Still, you're 
right about how cheap it is to get a copyright proper; I  think it  runs in 
the ball park of $20 or so...  Might as well fork out the extra pennies and 
do it right...<G>  (Especially seeing as how certified mail ain't cheap.)

WAHOO! If I wasn't forced to use an online editor until Kitty gets the
problems with the new 9600 fixed, I'd buffer that...think it'd fit into the
devival at CF4?
