Twas the night before Macworld
and all round the bay
the folks were on edge
for the big keynote day

the fanboys were camped
at Moscone with glee
with dreams of a gadget
from old saint stevie

When up from the valley
came a roar and a scare
they thought that Steve Ballmer
had just thrown a chair

They jumped from their sleeping bags
climbed out of their tents
said "I should have stayed home,
in my room with the 'rents"

A darkened black van
paratroopers in tow
all carried a box
to for the big Apple show

The fans tried to follow
to see what was amidst
but a big pack of lawyers
served a cease-and-desist

But then morning came
and they packed in the hall
and as Jobs-o emerged
they cheered one and all

On iphone! on movies!
On UMPC!
And might I add that Bill Gates
is a Grade-A weenie

And they heard Steven say
as he walked from the room
Happy Macworld too all,
now check this out... boom.
