Twas The Nite Before New Years ...A Gypsy Poem

[Gypsy Heart]

Twas the night before New Years And all through the forum
Not a digger was digging,not even old Gollum
The detectors were placed by the back door with care
In hopes that spring thaw would soon be here
I thought all T-netters were nestled, snug in their beds
While visions of pine tree shillings danced in their heads

And Gypsy in her Kerchief and I in my cap
had just settled down for a long winters nap
When out near the Cellar hole I heard such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter
away to the window I flew like a flash,tripped over some relics
and more rusty trash
and swore like the Baron, as I threw up the sash

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow ,
really lit up the junk we had found, as I looked down below
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a wagon load of T-Netters pulled by a John Deere
With a little old driver so full of spark
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Marc

More rapid than eagles the T-netters they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
Come Stevensno, Digthis and Mona,come Timmy and Seeker,Come Nana Come Civilman amd Minime,Dano and tgsman,Michele and TinPan.

The Tnetters kept coming,I couldnt believe the number,
I figured it was time to wake Gypsy from her slumber,

Then I heard Saint Marc loudly call
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricanes fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the porch the Tnetters they flew,
With the sleigh full of Party food and Liquor too,

And then, in a twinkling, I heard Gypsy laugh
as she stared at the T-netters out on the grass
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Through the front door St. Marc came with a bound.

"Are we too late?", he asked ,his nose like a cherry,
He was loaded down with packages ,too many to carry

"Oh My gosh", Said Gypsy her face a little red...
I asked a few T-netters over for New YearsEve ....
the word must have spread!!!!!

And I laughed at Marc in spite of myself;
"I just hope that Liquor you brought is all Top Shelf"

A wink of Marcs eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went to his work straight away
Set up the kareoke,filled the ice buckets,laid the buffet

then turned with a smile," Lets get this party rocking"

So Officers, this is the story of how we spent New Years Eve..
I had nothing to do
with it ...Talk to that big mouth Gypsy Pleeeeease
Sure There was some dancing and singing
Treasure talk,a little kissing ,
laughter ,and hugging
and we partied hard all night...it lasted till dawn
And that Officers ....
is how ten thousand Treasurenet members ended up
sleeping on my front lawn!

The policeman they laughed ,didnt write no citation, just said,
hope you ALL had fun at your celebration,
And I watched with blurry eyes
as they drove out of sight,
Happy New Years to all, and to all a good-night.





I know I left out alot of names and I apologize.....
But it was hard to get all ten thousand members ....So
copy ,paste and add your name to the list....
