JimD 3,347 #1 Posted December 23, 2014 and all through this place, no preparations being made.. in a hurry or in haste. It's just us for the dinner that we''ll have Christmas Day.. no guests to provide for or Grandchildren at play. With family so scattered and giving their own such great care.. If I thought they could make it I'd even grow hair. But alas though my family cannot be here.. Families are funny this time of the year. They come from far places and not always with decorum.. they will sneak up behind you from your favorite tractor forum. There's no rhyme or reason as to why they have opted.. to single me out and make me feel adopted. These Santas of Redsquare don't always use a red sleigh.. they send their gifts out in a much craftier way. It's a white truck they hail While the Drummer Boy's drummin'.. It says U.S. Mail they call it a Grumman. Squonk and Stevasaurus the Double S Gang I hear.. the Sons of Malarkey should quiver in fear. As they make their rounds with Rock and Rye on their breath.. if they think you've been naughty they'll just "Nice" you to death. Then with a wink and a nod and some Hardy Har Hars*, in the mail will come two Redsquare Calendars!! So I'll step outside tonight and shout to all who can hear it.. the Santas of Redsquare have truly lifted my spirit. Sometimes I'm a bit grumpy and have a short fuse.. but I wouldn't trade you two fer nuttin' except a pair of new shoes! Now mount up these steeds you're off to a great start.. as I stand back here and Thank You from the bottom of my heart. *No Ho Ho Ho's were harmed in the writing of this ridiculous pathetic excuse for a poem. Haha Two calendar arrived in the mail for me today. I tried to attach photos but they "failed". Don't know why. Might try to add them in another reply. 14 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,347 #8 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Martin, you did an excellent job on the calendars along with Mike and Terry. They are truly works of Art! And believe me, I know Art. He was my neighbor for 20 years! Karl, this little poem pales in comparison to Duff's nearly annual edition of the original classic that he adapts to Redsquare. I sure wish we could prod him to do another edition this year. Thanks again to Mike and Steve.. Edited December 23, 2014 by JimD 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
