    Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town

    data breaches were occurring all around.

    The IT guys were asleep without second thought,

    While soccer moms scurried and shopped 'til they dropped.

    The hackers were nestled, all snug in their chairs

    While visions of credit card numbers danced through the air.

    A little more security would have done the trick,

    to prevent data from being compromised and sabotaging Saint Nick.

    The parents were panicked and CEOs cried

    And big retail brands would soon lose their pride.
