Ho, ho, ho, Ol' Santa shouted
In the middle of July,
'Twas greetings from the 'Blue grass state'
That somehow went awry!

I found the file on my machine,
I can't remember when,
And didn't know what it contained,
...From enemy or friend?

I put it in a special file
Marked "SUSPECT"!..It's a shame,
For I knew not who had sent it,
Nor indeed from whence it came!

It could have been a nasty worm,
Or yet a Trojan Horse!
..Files opened with a lack of care,
Can lead to great remorse!

And many folks have come to grief!
...There will be many more,
For there are nasties on the net,
And viruses galore!

I got a "Round Tuit" to-day
They're very seldom seen!
My virus checker had a look
And said the file was clean.

So if you send me greetings friend
Pure text will keep me calm,
Or else you might identify
The EXE or COM!

And then I'll know they're not something
Appearances belie,
And I won't have to celebrate
My Christmas in July!
