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 />
