I received this parody of Clement Moore's masterpiece via email back in the mid-1990's, the author is unknown to me. Kimberly Powell had it on her website for years but I cannot find it now.'Twas the night before ChristmasWhen all through the houseNot a creature was stirring,Not even my spouse.The dining room table with clutter was spreadWith pedigree charts and with letters which said..."Too bad about the data for which you wrote;Sank in a storm on an ill-fated boat."Stacks of old copies of wills and suchWere proof that my work had become too much.
