My Christmas Poem?

Question

The night before Christmas, at a Computer Shop.

T’was the night before Christmas, and throughout the shop
Computers were humming; they never do stop
The lights were on but it was fairly quiet
The customers gone, for it was late at night.

But systems were ready, and programs were coded.
All memory chips had been carefully loaded
And adding a Christmassy glow to the scene
The lights on the consoles flashed red, white and green.

Then quite unexpected, on an 18 inch screen
With a flicker appeared an unusual scene
A sleight and eight reindeer, yes it was one of those
And a little old man, who said: I’m Santa Claus.

The computer was startled, confused by the name
Then it buzzed as it heard it heard the old fellow explain:
“This is Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
And comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.”

With all these odd names, it was puzzled anew;
It hummed and it clanked, and the main circuit blew.
It searched in it’s memory blank, trying to “think”;
Then the multi-line printer went out on the blink.

Unable to do it’s usual job,
It said in a voice that was almost a sob:
“Your eyes – how many how they twinkle – your dimples so merry,
Your cheeks so like roses, your nose like a cherry.

You’re jolly old face and that little round belly
That shakes when you laugh like a bowl full of jelly
I surely should have been programmed to know
But my data – recall is not only slow.

Your name and your details, I just cannot find
In the depths of my memory there is no such kind
My scanners can see you, but I have to insist
You’re not in my program,… so… you cannot exist!”

Old Santa just chuckled a merry “Ho, Ho”,
Then sat down to type out a word or so.
They key board click-clattered, it’s sound sharp and clean,
As Santa wrote this for the machine:

“Kids everywhere know me; I come every year.
The presents I give bring joy and bring cheer.
But your programmers did not remember me.
So a present for you has no meaning, you see.

Then he faced the computer and said with a shrug,
“Merry Christmas to you,”… as he pulled out the plug!
