From the Editor<br />

’Twas the Thursday<br />

before Christmas<br />

BILL JONES<br />

bill@opprairie.com<br />

the Thursday<br />

before Christmas,<br />

’Twas<br />

and all thro’ the<br />

workplace<br />

All the editors were stirring,<br />

heightening their pace<br />

The keyboards were<br />

clacking, the phones at last<br />

blare<br />

Panic sets in, with the<br />

deadline soon there<br />

The photos are captioned,<br />

tweaks to the masthead<br />

While cover designs<br />

dance, in Nancy Burgan’s<br />

head<br />

Jeff in his sweater,<br />

Heather’s with a cap<br />

The tired drink coffee; it’s<br />

winter, no frap<br />

Content springs to servers,<br />

after ad list approval<br />

The space this week,<br />

absolutely brutal<br />

But with the room that’s<br />

left, some quick words, I’m<br />

stuck<br />

Happy Christmas to all,<br />

good night and good luck<br />
