Twas The Night Before Christmas (Shop)
BottleBob
Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the shop
The CNC's were running, even the Haas
The parts were hanging by the chimney with care
Is hopes that the cleaning fluid would dry by air
The tools were nestled all snug in their drawers
Some Criterions in holders and ready to bore
The employees were home filled with Christmas cheer
While I was still feeding parts, the only one here
When out in the shop there arose a screeching chatter
I sprang from the computer to see what's the matter
Away to the Fadal I flew like a flash
Opened the doors to prevent a crash
The coolant had stopped and loaded the cutter
I hit the red button as smooth as butter
The part was saved with a cutter comp edit
Machine was fine and it started no sweat
Looking around, the shop machines were humming
Which was great since the due date was coming
On Haas on Mori on Makino and Kitamura
On Fadal on Okuma on Hurco and Matsuura
They're the babies that bring in the bucks
And make Christmas possible for some of us schmucks
I was humming to myself as I walked out of sight
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night
(BB 12/11/09)

John:
Actually, I had originally written another sentence after the end
which said: "I don't know if I should even put my name on this
abortion". But I decided to remove it. I guess I should have left it
in, eh?
But what can you expect, I'm a machinist not an English major. LOL
> You're at milgill or Vinny quality at present.
I guess there is plenty of room to grow then, right?

I didn't say that, although I might have implied it <G>
You all have fun for the holiday season.

Man you guys missed your calling.
The only one I can think of (non christmas) is "Thats
Amore" (MoriSeki)
When the part hits the side like a big piece of pie, Thats the Mori.

How about a Christmas Carol? Sung to the tune of "Up On The Housetop"
Up on the Haas Mill
Up on the Haas mill a program pause
Then out jumps my part from the jaws
Down through the auger with lots of noise
Despite all the havoc I maintain my poise
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Who wrote the code?
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Wouldn't you know!
Up on the Haas Mill
Cliff! Cliff! Cliff!
Parts in the Auger thanks to
Good ole Cliff!
First comes the casting
Isn't it swell?
Oh, dear Clifftard
Mill it well
He gives me the code
And I want to cry
I push the green button
And shut my eyes
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Who wrote the code?
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Wouldn't you know!
Up on the Haas Mill
Cliff! Cliff! Cliff!
Parts in the Auger thanks to
Good ole Cliff!
Next comes the repairing
Of my little mill
Out from the HFO
Comes service tech Phil
He takes out his hammer
And after lots of whacks
Hands me the bearings
All full of cracks
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Who wrote the code?
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Wouldn't you know!
Up on the Haas Mill
Cliff! Cliff! Cliff!
Parts in the Auger thanks to
Good ole Cliff!
