THE LAST DAY OF NOVEMBER

The last day of November, Na-Blo-Po-Mos done,
Not a blogger stopped writing, it was lots of fun;

The keyboards were dusted and vacuumed with care,
In hopes that Eden’s email soon would be there;

The bloggers were reading, not snug in their beds,
While visions of blog-prizes danced in their heads;

And Mr. Hot in his armchair, and I on my couch,
Were amazed that the writers did not even slouch,

When out in the kitchen there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter.

The damn stupid kittens knocked over my wine,
That nectar of gods, that fruit of the vine.

The puddle of Merlot on my countertop
started running toward the edge, it just would not stop.

I cleaned it up quickly so I could return
To my blanket and couch, and my laptop to learn

More about all of ya’ all, so lively and smart,
You’ve burrowed your way right straight to my heart.

More rapid than eagles to the seat my butt came,
And I scrolled down, and shouted, and called you by name;

“Now, Miz S! now, Candy! now, Amy and this Jen!
On, Heidi! on Cupcake! on, Lisa and Helen!

To the top of the post! to the top of the scrawl,
Now write away! write away! write away all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild Ann Arbor winds fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,

So up to the tip-top my fingers they flew,
Refreshing my Bloglines, and Google Reader too.

And then, in a twinkling, my browser refreshed
Adjusting my blanket so I stayed enmeshed,

I just scrolled down the screen, and was lifting my glass,
Laughing while reading Encyclopediasass.

You all have such talent, from your heads to your feet,
And receiving your comments has become such a treat;

A bundle of love I have witnessed right here,
Beauty and joy, lovely photographs, sometimes fear.

Your posts — how they tickled, your pictures how merry!
Your news was uplifting, LawMom Kim and you Sherry!

My dear friend Amanda is pregnant you know,
And Marianne, and Meghan; Squirrel too, and there’s mo’;

You listened while I cried about Shortman’s teeth,
And joked about the yellow bra worn underneath ;

You had a broad grin and clapped for dear Shelly,
Bitched about peanut butter with me, (not jelly).

You all kept on reading, my virtual dears,
And I laughed right on with you, in spite of some tears;

The Wink, Just Because and witchypoo as well
Bye Bye Buy, Cripes Suzette, oh and Life of Elle;

They spoke not a word, but blogged about their work,
This Sue is a gas, Lacey Bean is a Perk,

Sweet Nancy Marie was a neighbor before,
And Kristin and Bossy have stories galore;

I can’t go on now, my brain has gone to sleep,
If I haven’t linked you, please don’t cry, moan or weep

You are all my dear friends, I’ve enjoyed every site,
NaBloPoMo is done, and to all a good-night.

—- Y’all are truly great! Despite the bitching, I’ve had loads of fun this month. Now, I’m off to find my NaBloPoMoBadgeOh!—-
