A Triond Christmas

The night before Christmas Triond style.

It was the night before Christmas
And the forums were dead

So I laid down my mouse

And headed straight off to bed

I fell right to sleep

With a snore and a sigh

And dreamed in the morning

My page views would be high

When out on my lawn

I heard a loud crash

And a red suited fat dude

Was at the door in a flash

Two dozen elves

Were close on his heels

Then they open their laptops

With laughter and squeals

My articles in front of them
Lickety split

Then each tiny elf

Started to click

They hit Stumble, Xomba,

Digg it and Blogger

And when I thought they were through

They clicked even longer

When their fingers were tired

And their eyes had gone blurry

They packed up their stuff

And were gone in a hurry

I could wait not a minute

To get back online

To Triond I headed

For a million page views to find

My face just lite up

As I grinned ear to ear

What an outstanding finish

To a prosperous year

They heard me exclaim

As they flew out of sight

Merry Christmas to all

I made a buck fifty tonight…

I had to reread your poem because I thought I saw $1.50 – you know about what a beverage cost in the vending machine…

Great read. I enjoyed the laugh.

Walter Holstad on Dec 17, 2009
Nice. A dollar fifty! I made that much in a month once.
Nicholas Peterson on Dec 18, 2009
Original, but I’d say you could probably replace the word “triond” with any other site with a forum, publishing or otherwise.

but aside from that, it is deserving of a “like”
Misty Wood on Dec 18, 2009
This gave me a really good giggle )
miraj on Dec 19, 2009

Cebah on Dec 19, 2009
