*Best served from a cold orbit 😎
 
Just on a run out to Hutton Orbital (Christmas Delivery... and as an added bonus I get another Anaconda too :D )
Anyway, as the Space Madness takes hold I began humming a little ditty....
Goes something like this

My Chestnuts Roasting Under Thargoid Fire...
My Hull Depleting Caustically
Ships Power On The Fritzz
My Modules Fall To Bits....
Merry Christmas From FD !! o_O


(Apologies to The Velvet Fog....)
 
not quite what was asked for but that it was cool anyway. here is a christmas elite dangerous poem created by ChatGPT.

In the vast expanse of space,
Where the stars twinkle and shine,
There's a game that takes you to places,
That you've never seen before in time.

Elite Dangerous, the game we speak of,
Where pilots brave the void,
From the safety of their cockpit,
They explore and they avoid.

They trade goods and earn their pay,
They fight and defend with might,
In the Milky Way and beyond,
They travel through the night.

As Christmas approaches,
And we gather round the tree,
We think of all the adventures,
We've had in Elite Dangerous, you and me.

So here's to all the pilots,
Who fly through the black abyss,
Merry Christmas to you all,
From the game we can't resist.

As bonus here is a thargoid christmas poem:

As Christmas approaches, and the stars shine bright,
We think of all the adventures we've had, both day and night.
But in the depths of space, there's danger that lurks,
In the form of Thargoids, with their advanced ships and works.

They roam the galaxy, a mysterious and hostile force,
Their intentions unknown, and their actions often coarse.
But as we gather round the tree, and sing carols with cheer,
We can't help but wonder, if the Thargoids are near.

Do they celebrate Christmas, in their own alien way?
Do they exchange gifts, or sing songs on this day?
We may never know, for they are a mystery,
But we can still enjoy the joy and love of Christmas, you see.

So here's to the Thargoids, both far and wide,
Merry Christmas to you all, on this joyous night.
May peace and goodwill, be with you always,
And may your travels through space, be filled with wonder and praise.

Adder in a Padder
or
Adder on a Platter
 

Cargoes (1903) By John Masefield​

Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amythysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.

Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

Imperial Cutter with a stygian purple paint job,
Jumping past the stars and basking in the night,
With a cargo of tritium,
Gallium, polymers,
Synthetic reagents, copper and lepidolite.
 
Old Worlds Ode

Be cool as ice, oh!
When you're in Diso
Please do behave
If visiting Lave
Don't be beastly
In the system of Leesti
Avoid being a ponce
As you fly through Zaonce
Act not the prat
Docking at Reidquat
It shouldn't be fraught
When you go to Reorte
And things will be nicer
Without fuss in Tionisla
