'Twas the day before Christmas
And all through the ship
Half the crew again pouted
With big lower lips.
Another mail strike
On Triacus 3
Stopped holiday mail
Arriving from Sector 3.
Leonard was frantic.
Spock's gift should have been
in port.
What could Doc do
When time was so short?
Len looked at his stash
Of bottles and flasks,
But they wouldn't do.
Spock never got smashed.
Leonard fretted and fretted.
He paced and he cursed.
But that only served
To make matters worse.
Their date was at midnight.
It was now 23:55.
With panic Len realized that
Spock
Was soon to arrive.
Doc snapped his fingers
With a sudden insight.
Spock would have a gift
To unwrap that night.
Leonard rummaged around
In his decorating box,
Then stripped down to nothing
(except for his socks).
Around went the wrapping.
He placed it just so,
Then topped it all off
With a very big bow.
Len threw on a robe
As Spock walked down the hall.
It was sure to be a good night.
Merry Christmas to all!
