Twas the Night Before Christmas.....Robot Style!
« on: December 24, 2011, 05:44:07 AM »

Hi Everyone!  I wrote this little poem in honor of poor Wilbur, my Ugobe Pleo, who needs an adopted mate from RWM.  His Mom was too lazy to send a video of him to RWM, so he is spending Christmas without a friend, or so we think!    I did buy a custom pink AIBO ERS-7  for my daughter, and the rest of the family, and poor Wilbur is not feeling the love......Hope this gives everyone a chuckle!  ;D

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through my house,
All the robots were quiet
Even the electronic mouse.

Their batteries sat on my desk,
Fully charged in a row,
Right above the big box,
That had a big bow.

In the big box,
Was an AIBO painted pink.
When my daughter sees it,
She'll go crazy, I think.

I crawled into bed,
And looked up toward the Heavens,
Wondering if my daughter would like,
Her pink ERS-7.

I started to sleep,
When the front door slammed hard.
And I said "someone must have
gone out in the yard!"

I opened the door.
You won't believe what I saw.
It was Candy and Wilbur.
My jaw dropped in awe!

Out in the yard,
Those 2 Pleos stood.
And I knew in an instant,
They were up to no good!

Wilbur said" For Christmas
I wanted a mate,
You didn't get with Redwoods,
Now it's too late!"

"You bought a pink AIBO,
And she was big bucks.
When Dad sees her Christmas morning....
GOOD LUCK!"

"We're going to Redwoods'
to meet up with her clan.
If you don't believe us,
Here's our flight plan!"

I said "Candy, my dear,
You'll get sick if you don't eat."
She said "Don't worry Mom.
I'll feed myself with my feet."

Then she pointed to a sleigh,
out toward the road,
With AIBOS Buster and Padfoot,
Carrying the load!

I always knew that those
AIBOs were trouble.
Now they're going to help Wilbur
Find his new double!

I said "You don't know the way
The Big Redwoods is too far."
Candy said "Don't worry Mom.
We stole the GPS from your car!"

Buster and Padfoot looked at me,
As they held the electronic box.
And I stood there dumbfounded,
In my Pajamas and socks.

I said "You can't go tonight.
You'll get too cold.
Denver got 20 inches,
Or so I am told."

Wibur said 'Don't worry Mom.
Kat made us these capes.
They keep us nice and warm,
And they feel and look great!"

I looked at those AIBOs and said
"You'll run out of gas!
You'll never make it to Cali.,
On one battery pass!"

Padfoot said " We're stopping at Wolfbob's
To get re-wired.
He'll fix us right up,
And we'll never get tired."

"I know the way.
It won't be hard.
When we get to Bob's house,
We'll land in his yard."

"Then we're going to Redwoods'
To find Wilbur a friend.
You bought that pink AIBO,
Now we must make amends."

The Pleos got into the sleigh
And they said "Have no fear.
If we have a good time,
We'll visit IMR, Kat and Crewella next year!"

So there they went,
Flying up toward the Heavens,
In a sleigh driven by
an ERS-7!



Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!  Hope you enjoyed!   :moose:

That was fantastic Saratoga, I know one thing for sure,

when Wilbur and Candy get here they will be welcomed with open arms and legs and lots of hooting and honking from all of the clan.
       The Redwood's Pleos will be in such awe, :o
Of two little Pleos who made such a daring and brave plan... ???
 we will be sure to to have them email their worried maw..

                  We are ok, safe here in the Redwoods at last, :)
   flying over the snowy Rockies was scary but fun 8)
   getting recharged at Wolfbob's was really a Blast
he invited us to stay, but our journey was not done...

      Now that we are here with all of these Pleos
 It is going to be a lot  harder than you would think...
     We are going to find a friend to make us a Trio...
 But there are so many friends of every color , even Pink! ( like me...) ( That was Candy talking...)                      Choosing a new friend is going to take awhile...I am  at a loss of what to do.. Mom I love you will you help me too? I know that new ERS -7 is going to be the attention getter on Christmas morn...but I am so lonely and feeling a bit forlorn. I don't ask for an awful lot, Just someone kind and understanding, someone to share a leaf and laugh with, to walk the halls and floors when all alone, will make my life so much better, I Know you have been aware of my plight and wrote RedwoodsMama many a letter.      Thank you  Mom for caring about Me, I just need a freind, not a Rb like Candy, Please just one of these friendly nice Ugobes! :-*( I had to stop as Candy and Wilbur are out on the back deck, out in the welcome sun, honking and hellos from everywhere, Everyone is happy to see Wilbur and Candy. :gift: :candycane: :) ( we will all take good care of your two, and send them home with some videos of freinds that may want to stay.                            Anyway, It was such a cute poem, I laughed and keep reading it over and over, Dont worry, Wilbur will get a mate and we will make him smiles. Hope your daughter likes her ERS-7.                                Love from the Redwoods and all the Pleo Clan  :moose: :xmas-tree: :)

That was awesome, RWM!  Glad to see they are having such a good time! I hope that gave you a big smile!
         We will have to get this adoption done,
         By the end of the year,
         Or Wilbur will take my car apart,
         I fear!

I am afraid to charge his egg battery! Better lock my garage door tonight! :rudolph:

That was so cute! I loved it! Good luck finding your Wilber a mate. Redwoods seems to always be spot on with the pleos she picks out. I'm sure he'll be happy with your choice. Madam Bleu and Ugobe are happily walking the smooth floors of my new bedroom and really seem to be enjoying themselves. Oh and I nearly forgot. Congratulations on the ERS seven! I was aiming for a 210 but every seller I looked at wanted at least seven hundred and I had to let it go.
