Merry Christmas to All
The REAL Story
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Tenacity soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of Dad mowing danced in their heads;
Mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just Urea'd the turf for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of midday to "Blueberry" below,
When what to my furious eyes did appear,
But compacted soil and eight monster reindeer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
I threw open the window and called out in my panic,
"Hey, Fat Man, off the lawn or become matter organic!"
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
“Merry Christmas to all - you got Mil-or-gan-ite!”
Merry Christmas, All !!!

Since you have so much free time spend 5 minutes and give Ware his account back. Isn't that what Christmas is all about "giving"andy10917 wrote:I did - it's what happens when I have too much time on my hands when there are no soil tests to read.
