> Twas the night before Christmas and all through the list
> Confusion was rampant, some emails were missed.
> Garden writers canât help it, they want to have fun,
> they must comment on typos, with jokes or a pun.
> âThey ate passionate speakersâ Suzi types and we read,
> and we know she hit âtâ and not ârâ in her speed.
> But she goes on to say these folks are able,
> To âbring a tremendous amount to the table.â
> We sprang to our keyboards and quickly respond,
> âStep away from the podium!â and then move beyond.
> To comments of passionate speakers consumed,
> Leaving those who donât follow the thread to be doomed.
> We see thin or plump speakers falling like cattle,
> as impassioned presenters are pressed into battle.
> âOn Donner!â we say, but weâre not thinking Jeff.
> We want jokes and not a true cannibal chef.
> Now many are laughing, saying âOMG, yup!â
> When Kirk Brown confesses he canât get it up.
> Yet we know our dear Kirk to be lively and quick,
> And we quote his response adding parentheses âsic.â
> So speak not a word and go straight to your writing
> Of spreading the gospel of gardening, exciting.
> Write of plants, tools, techniques, a prolific new bloomer,
> And enter the year with these friends and good humor.
