    And yet another version, borrowed from TKAT!

    Just bumping this thread and adding another version borrowed from TKAT and the Yahoo Group!

    SANTA AND CLYDE'S XS

    It was the night before Christmas and Santa was freaking
    The raindeers' on strike and no one was speaking
    Santa runs through the shop screaming "What do I do"
    Then Clyde his main elf said, "I got something for you."

    Off through the woods to Clyde's private shop they did fly
    Huffing and puffing Santa knew he was fixin' to die
    Behind an old sleigh stuffed back in the dust
    A mighty XS lay covered with rust

    Santa looked at Clyde said, "You been on drugs?"
    Clyde said UH..I'm sure I can work out the bugs
    The jugs, they do weep and the petcock, it drips
    Idle's a little weird and the seat's got some rips

    The swing arm wobbles, and one side cover is missing
    When it first fires up there's lots of clicking and hissing
    Left tank badge is gone --- probably never be found
    That's oil from the breather tube dripping down to the ground.

    Hook up these wires 'cuz I lost the key
    I know I can fix it, you can count on me
    Santa looked at Clyde like he was deranged
    But with a sweep of Clyde's wand, things started to change

    The rust disappeared from the paint and the chrome
    Both meats were trashed and replaced with Bridgestones
    The frame turned shinny black and the tank candy green
    Santa's was getting all psyched by the beauty he was seeing.

    Blinding was the light that the head lamp now gives
    The license plate simply said "Jomoto lives"
    "Can this relay work?" Santa thought scratching his rear
    "Can 80 some horsepower replace those stinkin' deer?"

    Time was running out, childrens' joy was on the line
    Can this glistening beast get to all the roof tops on time?
    Santa hooked up the wires and choked it a little
    Took a deep breath and gave the throttle a tickle

    He gave Clyde thumbs up and said goodbye to his wife
    A button push later 1096 cc's spring to life
    Warming it up, the big multi rumbled and shook
    In a matter of seconds old Santa was hooked

    All clapped and they cheered as Santa dumped the clutch
    Outside the scream of the 4 into ones, Santa didn't hear much
    The air turned blue, as tire dust mixed with wood chip "snow"
    Santa was on a mission and time was running low

    From house to house he flew that night, a grin ear to ear
    Knowing there's a 1200 kit if Rudolph strikes again next year
    With all the toys passed out by first light Santa gave himself a hand
    He said, "I bet I've still time for a lap 'round the Isle of Mann"

    So, as those mighty wheels started to spin
    "Merry Christmas to all" was heard on the wind
    If you think this tale is bogus and if you still need more proof
    Explain to your neighbors the oil and skid marks up there on your roof
    (the breathers still drip)
