A new Christmas Carol -- "O Silverman!"

Temp X is in the holiday spirit today. Perhaps it's the chill in the air. Maybe it's just remnants from yesterday's sugar high (wretched holiday candy!). Or perhaps it's the prospect of another strike. But whatever is making me feel Santa-stic, I'm just giddy.

So enjoy my ode to the holidays. And for everyone who can't afford trimmings for your Christmas tree due to your meager or non-existent wages, I've created a star you can top your shrubbery with.

O Silverman! O Silverman!
Thy network is so dying;
O Silverman! O Silverman!
Thy network you are killing;
Your programs suck when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Silverman! O Silverman!
I guess I will Chime In?

O Silverman! O Silverman!
Thy lay-offs will not help thee;
O Silverman! O Silverman!
You sought success with Rosie;
That she drew less than Knight Rider
Was not a big surprise-er!
O Silverman! O Silverman!
What ever are you smoking? (According to Nikki Finke not me.)

O Silverman! O Silverman!
You've got lots of "F-U" money!
O Silverman! O Silverman!
We are not all so lucky!
The prom wreckers you called "ugly,"
Are standing in line at EDD.
O Silverman! O Silverman!
And then you went skiing?!

Merry Christmas everyone?!
