>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.
>

>all the best for the holidays and beyond,
