"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Forum
not a capper was stirring, and there wasn't a quorum
The computer was set by the chimney with care,
in hopes that the Moderator soon would be there.

The cappers were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of last second covers danced in their heads.
And touts in their skirts, and I in my cap,
had just settled our brains for a bowl seasons nap.

When the computer blinked there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the keyboard I went in a hurry,
logged onto the Prescription and started to worry.

I dusted off my monitor and wiped sleep from my eyes,
when the screen became brightened oh what a surprise,
when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a newcomers post with his play of the year.

Now being a Prescription veteran, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be a gimmick.
Who is this new poster and what is his game,
I needed some quick answers so I called you by name:

Now Spincter, Now Bloated Liver,
Now Big Daddy Nole,
Now Winkyduck, Now Gofrogs,
Now Gambling Fool

Log onto this site, click on this guy's post
Do you like his selection, do you think it will coast?

We scratched our heads and wondered who this could be,
His play made no sense it was easy to see.
Where did he come from and why was he here
could this guy be for real, it doesn't appear.

He touted this pick as his 10,000 star
the more he continued, the more bizarre.
No stats to back up, no trends to tell,
he just said go big and dig deep in our well.

Now most of us have been around here long enough,
To not believe in that 10,000 star stuff.
But something about this guy made me feel
He's definitely different, I think he's for real.

"Take the North Pole Reindeer" he said they were stacked
Some kid named Rudolph is their fine quarterback.
They'll pound the South Pole Elves, you must listen to me,
It won't be close, their tallest player is
3 foot 3.

So I played the game and listened to his jingle.
this new poster guy whose ID was KKringle.
I followed the game and Rudolph played great,
they crushed the Elves who didn't score until late.

After the game I sent hime a post,
"Hey KKringle, you were right, it wasn't even close!"
I waited for a response, wanted to talk about the win,
Nary a word from him until just after ten.

"I'm glad it came through and my big play won,
but I really can't talk now, I've got to run.
Got a big night ahead and I must log off this site,
but Merry Christmas to all and to all a Goodnight!".

Merry Christmas!
The Poet

One of the BEST Christmas - holiday posts I've ever read here in the Rx forums! :ok:

Thank you, The Poet, for posting such cheerful and uplifting poetry for us.

It's really very nice, and I certainly appreciate it.

It's a welcome respite from the back biting and in-fighting which takes place here.

Best of luck in all of your bowl action. :toast:

Merry Christmas to you and your's! waving-elfgif

Sorry for the delayed response. Steiner you always come into m threads with such positive words even when my picks stink. Incubus I have been posting that poem for 10+ years and your reply is the nicest words ever. Thanks much to everyone for their nice responses. Therx has stood the test of time and will always be the best forum because 90% of the posters truly want to win and share their thoughts and insights with a common goal of winning. Good luck to all and well wishes for a prosperous 2016 for everyone.
The Poet
