A very Merry Christmas to everyone...and I know its a day or two late, but my prefect actually wrote the following poem and sent it on ROCC's (my club...Rocketry of Central Carolina) e-mail list. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing ;) I think you all will appreciate it.



Twas Day before Launching

Twas the day before Christmas and all through the launch site
everyone stayed busy prepping their flight.
All of their rockets laid on the ground,
as flyers stood wondering when and if all could be found.

When suddenly at the pads there rose such a clatter
as folks hooked up their with rockets in hopes they would not splatter.
As they stood quietly rocking in the breeze on the stands
Everyone stood patiently, waiting, nervously rubbing there hands.

When off in the distance the PA sprang to life with a screech
when some 40's something fat dude started making a speech.

Announcing each rocket as it was ready for flight
On Warthorg, on Maniac, on Initiator, on Ultimate Endeavor
as I count you down do us a favor

Fly high and fast and as you reach your summit
please, oh please deploy your chute so we won't watch you plummet.
Float gently, gently back to the ground
so that we may fly you again, next round.

I'll count you down with a Five, Four, Three, Two, One.
May you belch fire and leap toward the sun.
Making us jump with your extreme mighty power
leaving the ground on a white smoke tower.

As you streak through the sky on that white hot flame
I'll marvel that you can fly, as everyone else does the same.

We'll await the pop to release your parachute.
In the mean time watch out for that old guy with a beard and red suit.
As this Christmas, and Santa will know
who's rockets are aglow.

If you take out a reindeer you may hear him shout
"I know where you live, and this year your OUT!"
So, if you want Santy to fill your pockets with rockets
Keep the noisy end down and the pointy end up.
and don't glue your fins wrong on your new Bull Pup

So be careful this Christmas and have some great flights
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.


Happy Holidays!
