Now, Connors! Now McCafferty and Bernard! <BR>> On Smiley, On Roca, On MacDonald and Leonard!" <BR>> To the top of the Bird porch, inside of the hall <BR>> Now to the monthly meeting, let's hop to it you all!! <BR>> <BR>> As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly <BR>> when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, <BR>> so up to the meeting, the Corsas also flew <BR>> Mark Edmond's, the Wisemans', and John Teixeira's too. <BR>> <BR>> And then in a twinkling, Ray heard under the hood, <BR>> some noises to check, oh yes, yes he should! <BR>> As he popped open the lid and was looking down <BR>> Bob Sedani was right there with nary a frown. <BR>> <BR>> He had on a Bay State jacket and a NASCAR cap <BR>> And his clothes were covered with primer and <BR>> paint-sap <BR>> A bundle of emblems and trim he had flung on his back <BR>> and he looked like a peddler, just opening his sack. <BR>> <BR>> The stump of a tipparillo he held tight in his teeth <BR>> and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath <BR>> He had a great sense of humor and a lot of patience <BR>> too <BR>> ‘Cuz he’s been waiting to get his car back since 2002! <BR>> (Not really, but it seems like it!) <BR>> <BR>> So Dave Mac usually speaks not a word (yeah right!), <BR>> but went straight to this poem <BR>> He filled up a newsletter, and even did some of it <BR>> from home, <BR>> And momentarily laying aside his talent for prose <BR>> clicking the send button, from his computer he arose. <BR>> <BR>> He closed down his ‘puter, gave the mouse and keyboard <BR>> a rest <BR>> To his bed he went, knowing that day he had done his <BR>> best, <BR>> With apologies to those names that he just couldn’t <BR>> squeeze <BR>> Happy Holidays to All and to all a good night...if you <BR>> please!! <BR>> <BR>> ;-) <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> __________________________________________ <BR>> Yahoo!
