  \/


'Twas the flight before christmas, so the mission logs say,
And SkyTeam Cloud Nine was up and away.

The Fantastic Five were out flying around,
But due to the storm, were close to the ground.

The small Douglas Fir near the port ion engine
was glowing a bit and attracting attention.

Jack looked at the tree with its odd yellow glow
when into the viewscreen a red light did show.

He stared at the light, so shiny and bright
And then he decided that miss it he might.

He tried to evade it, but it followed quite well
And it soon caught up to them, after a spell.

Onto the roof it did land with a THUMP
and the top hatch opened with a ka-CHUNK.

A large man slipped through the hatch with grace
and looked at the tree with a dissatisfied face.

He said "Stacey Joan, Jack Crusher and all,
Your tree now has cancer, and is also too small."

"I will go get a good one," He said with a frown
"And this new one, I hope, won't turn yellowish-brown."

He put a finger alongside his nose,
and with a little whistle, through the top hatch he rose.

The red nose was sitting on the AirSkimmer's roof,
when the fat man sat down, and took off with a whoosh!

About 5 minutes later, the fat man got back,
slipped back through the hatch, and then spoke to Jack.

"Ho ho ho," he said with a happy face on
and he gave them a tree that was about ten feet long.

"The thing will not fit in the Skimmer," Jack said
But Santa was already back in his sled.

Jack went through the hatch, then turned about face
'Cause Santa was gone, with a note in his place.

Jack settled down in some prints from a hoof,
and read to himself the note on the roof.

"To Crusher, Jack Crusher," the small note did say,
"Here are some tips, to get through your day"

"Take care of your SkyTeam, their importance is great.
Don't fear taking charge, don't arrive too late."

"Your team will be tested in the coming new year.
But until January First, your schedual is clear."

"There'll be no enemy monsters, no panic in the skies.
Your next weeks are clear, I tell you no lies."

"This is your present, oh SkyTeam Cloud Nine.
I hope you enjoy it, it cost $12.99."

"That Phantom will do anything for some cash,
But if he didn't sell peace, his computer I'd smash."

"But now I'm off topic, so in closing I'll say,
Have a very good Christmas, and a great New Year's Day."

"Oh yes, and P.S," The note also read,
"Go into the AirSkimmer, and into your bed."

"When you wake up next morning, look under the tree,
And a present for Stacey, from you, will there be."

So Jack went in, and got ready to sleep,
when back into the Skimmer Santa did creep.

When morning did come, and up Stacey got,
The present from Jack she did open with a start.

She stared at the ring, 'twas a carat or two,
and then she exclamed, "Yes, I will marry you!"

And someone outside, while playing a fife,
exclamed "Merry Christmas, have a great new life."
