To all the wonderful people at the forum-

Thank you all for your wisdom and your humor.

I wish you all a very merry Christmas and/or happy Chanukah - and a happy, healthy and safe New Year.

(and a happy belated birthday to Island Girl!)

Misty Blue · 12-24-2005, 12:49 AM

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all 'cross the Lake,
Not a vessel was sailing, there was not a wake;

The docklines were stowed in the boathouse with care,
The sunset came early, there was a chill in the air.

The cruisers were laid up all snug in thier sheds'
With drains safley opened in their engines and heads;

The sailboats on cradles, running gear all well stowed,
Their shrouds, stays and haylards all dusted with snow.

When out on the bay there arose a commotion,
Like I've never heard since I sailed on the ocean.

Down to the dock I ran in a rush;
I slippped on the planking and slid in the slush.

The big Lake was frozen both far and wide;
Waiting for islanders to go out for a ride.

When what to my wondering eyes did I see;
But a miniature sleigh with a course set for me.

With a little old driver, so tiny and minni.
I know in a moment it must be St. Winni!

More rapid than coursers his seahorses came;
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name:

"Now DONZI! Now SKIPPER! FL Boater and Pepper!
On Mw-N-Mac! On Lady Di! Fly like a zepher!
Rise up now Gal from Rattlesnake Island!
Take to the air McDude from the highlands!"

He cried to his coursers in a bright, merry tone,
"Now dash away! Dash away! Through the no wake Zone!"

As waves in the broads sometimes will dash'
When they meet Parker Island and end with a splash;

So across the rime ice his coursers they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys and St. Winni. too!

Then in a twinkling I heard a sharp slice,
As the sleigh came to a stop on the crystal clear ice.

I looked at the chimney, 'Heard a mighty "Heave Hove!"
As the jolly elf rolled out of the old Fisher stove.

His clothes were covered in ashes and dibris;
But he faithfully wore his Type III PFD.

From a red seabag fell a bundle of toys;
To be given to the good little Winni. Girls and Boys.

For Island Gal there was a good book for reading,
for Grant was a dive tank with NITROX for breathing.

Pine Island Guy a camera so he can watch his Lake,
For Broadhopper some boat stuff, what fun it will make!

SkiSur some downhills for his next black diamond run,
Broadhopper already has his, a life full of FUN!

Then clicking his fingers, like a kid on a spree,
He gave me a wink and then motioned to me;

We ran to the sleigh, parked out on the bay,
And he gave me a message 'fore he sailed away.

His message, as he crossed the Lake crystal white;
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night"

Merry Christmas!

Misty Blue

I love your poem, Misty Blue! It's great!

Pine Island Guy · 12-27-2005, 01:37 PM

Misty –

you have once again raised the bar and we are now all expecting a poem on every occasion from you!!

And your poetic prediction has indeed come true, I have a new web cam at the ready to give another view from the island… just waiting for enough ice to borrow one of your sleds so we can get out there

Happy New Year to all!!

Misty Blue you are the The New Winnie Poet Laureate. Great poem. You have added to the lore of the lake. Perfect for Christmas Eve reading.
Just tucked the “kids” in and came home. Downtown Wolfeboro was a Christmas post card as I drove through.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to All

Do you mean the royalty checks are in arrears?

Here's hoping you all had a GREAT HOLIDAY and got lots of toys! I still did not get a Z06 Corvette but there is always next year.

Have a Safe and Happy New Year!
