Twas the night before Chanuka, Boychics and Maidels
Twas the night before Chanuka, Boychics and Maidels
Not a sound could be heard, not even the dreidels.
The menorah was set by the chimney alight
While in kitchen the Bubbie was choppin a bite
Salami, pastrami, a glusele tay
Mit zoyera pickles and bagels - oy vey!
Gezunt and geshmock the kinderlach felt
While dreaming of taiglach and Chanukah gelt.
The alarm clock was sitting, a kloping and ticking
While the Bubbie was carving a shtickele chicken.
A tummel arose like the wildest kduchas
Santa had fallen right on his tuchas!
I put on my slippers, ein tzvie, drei
While the Bubbie was eating herring on rye.
I put on my bathrobe and buttoned my gotkes
While Bubbie was just devouring the latkes.
To the window I ran and to my surprise
A little red yarmulke greeted my eyes!
Then he got to the door and saw the menorah
"Yiddishe kinder," he cried, "Kenahora!"
"I thought I was in a goyishe hoise
As long as I'm here I'll leave a few toys."
"Come into the kitchen I'll give you a dish
A gupel, a leffel, a shtickele fish."
With smacks of delight he started his fressen
Chopped liver, knaidlach and kreplach gegessen.
Along with his meal he had a few schnapps
When it comes to eating, this fellow is tops!
He asked for some knishes with feffer and zaltz
By they were to hot and he yelled "Oy gevalt!"
He loosened his hoisen as he ran from the tish
"Your koshereh meals are simply delish!"
As he went through the door he said "See you later
I?ll be back next Pesah, in time for the seder."
So chutzmir and zeitzmir and bleibt nir gezun"
He called out cheerily into the wind,
More rapid than eagles his prancers they came,
As he whistled and shouted and called them by name
"Come Izzie! Now Moishe! Now Yussel and Sammy!"
On Duveed and Maxie and Hymie and Manny!"
He gave a geshrai as he drove out of sight
"A gut yum tov to all and to all a good night

T'was some time before Christmas,
(As December goes),
When Santa encountered
Some database woes,
The children expecting
Nocturnal delight
While Santa experienced
Globalized flight
Santa's large list
(Which was on SQL)
Encountered some errors
He couldn't dispel
He ran out of memory
For some stored procedure
(And everyone knows where such
problems can lead ya!)
Come disk space!
Come RAM space!
Come CD!
Come Zips!
Come motherboard!
BIOS!
And updated chips!
In spite of a Pentium
Near to meltdown
His SQL database
Caused him to frown
"It's normalized funny!"
"It's subject to stress!"
"And when will this finish?"
"I simply can't guess!"
So Santa, perturbed
By slowness of bus
Decided his print run
Was quite serious
He needed to finish
his toy list - at least a
straight listing was needed
(some time before Easter!)
He looked at one sack
and he started to cry!
Some tears of delight!
HE'D DISCOVERED - OI!
"This looks like a miracle!"
Santa then cried
as he read through the manual
Features he spied!
He looked at performance
And normalized data
And then he turned into
an SQL hater!
He ported his app. in a
couple of days,
And soon had amended
Those SQL ways
Come presents,
Come wrappings,
Come reindeer,
Come elves!
Come hither,
Come yon,
But don't come
By yourselves!
Come look at my listing!
For all to espy!
I've done it!
My schedule!
- straight out of OI!
And Santa was happy!
- his miracle's essence
this Christmas, was OI
The neatest of presents!
So think of your very next
Christmas delight!

Merry Christmas and a safe Holiday Season to you all
