To continue on through chaos Once this year comes to close I won't bother you with details No , we don't need more of those Suffice it to say we've seen them There were plenty of hardships and errors Extraordinary blunders And moments of sheer terror Disasters un-imagined Extreme calamities Most things that couldn't be any worse Beat the odds by three Raging floods and drought and famine And pestilence galore Continually assailed us Exhausted we felt no more Listed , each manner of torment In excruciating detail For our entertainment Each night at six without fail On horizon of the morrow There lies hope awaiting sight Held inviolate from sorrow Eager to put wrong to right Rejoice in it's affirmation Strength unbounded lies within Drink full this sweet libation Once again the " News " begins [This message has been edited by Dr.Moose1 (edited 12-14-1999).] |

Severn, The inspiration for this in part came from one of Michael's posts, I guess that got me going on the subject( not that it takes much) And then I read one of Mike's son's . Somewhere in the process this was concieved , and from there it pretty much wrote itself .Thanks for the reply. Doc |
