Twas the Night Before Christmas...Winter Haven, Fl December 24, 2005
December 24th, 2005 at 9:59 pm'Twas the Night Before Christmas an actual account of a visit from
St. Nicholas by Lanemus Maximus Twas the night before Christmas and
out on my lake Not a creature was stirring, not even a snake; The
wetsuits were hung in the boathouse with care, In hopes that Saint
Nicholas soon would be there; The skiers were crashing all snug in
their bunks, With visions of calm water without any bumps… Big
Momma in her nighty, and I in my shorts, Had just settled down for
a nap of sorts. When out on the lake I heard such a splatter, I
jumped from my bed to see what was the matter. Out to the Lanai, I
flew at warp speed, cranked open my windows And peered through the
reeds. The moon on the water, shining below, Made it easy to see
the gators eyes glow. But what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a new type of boat powered by reindeer. With a speed hungry
driver pulling a big dude in Dawg Paws, I knew at that moment it
must be Santa Claus! More rapid than boarders, trickers, or slalom,
This big guy craved speed and I heard him callin'; Now Driver, now
spotter, videographer too, Let's crank up this bad boy and see what
she'll do. And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof, The
Ooohing and Aaaahing of bare reindeer hoofs. As I drew in my hand
and was turning around I heard the big guy lay four tumble turns
down. This guy had great padding on his butt and his back, His
wetsuit was custom without any slack. A bundle of gear he had on
his back, It looked like The Footer's Edge was sponsoring this
chap! His eyes how they twinkled behind Oakleys and Tilley, His
cheeks were all fried; he probably hadn't applied number 30! His
droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow And the beard of his
chin was bleached out like the snow. The stump of his pipe soaking
wet in his teeth, It was obvious this guy had done a back deep. His
legs looked explosive, his arms major pumped, I think that Santa
had gone inverted off my jump! I laughed when I saw him, in spite
of myself, It was obvious to me the buff on this Elf. A wink of his
eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know, I had nothing to
dread. He spoke not a word as he went straight to work, This guy's
moves were seamless, not even a jerk. I watched in amazement as he
went through his turns, It was obvious to me I had something to
learn! He sprang to his ride, to his team gave a whistle, And away
they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him explain,
ere he drove out of site, "Make sue to apply your SlickFeet50
