Default I need help with a holiday poem...please

My DH owns a vintage car repair shop and every year I make Christmas cards, with an old car theme, to send to his customers.
Last year I found a poem on the internet, altered it a bit and put it inside the Christmas card... Rave reviews followed. This is what it said...

'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the garage,
not a creature was stirring,
not even the Dodge.
The tires were hung
by the windows with care,
in hopes that St. Nick
would fill them with air.

I need a new poem for this years card and I'm hoping for your quick minds to help me....please, please, please! I have seen what you guys can do!
Thanks

I don't really have time to think this one out, but coud you use this poem and match the letters to Car Parts etc..(i.e. C is for a crankshaft.. and so on and so forth) Maybe it will at least be a starting point to get your creativity flowing

C is for the Christ child lying in a manager.
H is for the Holy One who saved us all from danger.
R is to Remember Him who died that we may live.
I is to Inspire us that we may always give.
S is for joyful Songs and sacred hymns that praise.
T is to Thank the Lord for showing us the way.
M is for the Miracles that bless us each day.
A is for the Almighty who always puts us first.
S is for the Shepherd who guides us on earth.

Its really long, but I also found this night before christmas muscle car poem.

Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the light,
Was a domestic V8 and no cops in sight,
I will try, I will try, I will try with this small motor,
To beat this damn Camaro, even with its big blower,
As the light goes green and I pull like no joke,
The Camaro erupts in clouds of tire smoke,
Now Smasher, now Rev-ver, now Stroker, now Blitzin,
These are the names of my four VTEC pistons,
Racing ahead I'm the star of the action,
But I know I'm in trouble when V8 gets traction,
Grabbing second, I hear the RPM's sing,
My mirror is blocked by my shopping kart wing,
I now hear the roar of the big monster gaining,
All I can do is keep the four-banger straining,
In a second, the shock wave hits with a blast,
And my stickers go flying, now a thing of the past,
Don't bother with third, cuz now it's too late,
Just try to act cool, like you can relate,
Looking up at the taillights as they get smaller,
The driver slows down just to give me a holler,
"You can't win them all," he says in the fling,
"You may not win any, in that silly thing,"
I smiled and revved as he pulled out of sight,
With my new mods tomorrow, it will be a better night.

I know practically nothing about cars, but if I did I would take a popular Christmas carol and just start altering the words. I'm sure that someone could do something with Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls OR the twelve days of Christmas. Come to think of it the Twelve days of Christmas might be the easiest.

On the first day of Christmas my mechanic gave to me ...
