"Pop-Up Night Before Christmas" for 2003

[Ab Diver]

To everyone at PUT, here is my fourth rendition of the "Pop-Up Night Before Christmas". As usual, I've changed a couple lines, and added a word or two, but I hope you like it. As many of you know, this time of year is especially busy for me (working in a Brown Truck), so I haven't been visiting the forum much. That's not to say I haven't been thinking of my friends here at PUT. May each of you have a wonderful Holiday, filled with love, family, and friendship. And may the coming New Year be the best yet. Take care, everyone, and Happy Camping!
 
 
Merry Christmas from the Ab Diver's! :XMas

"The Pop-up Night Before Christmas".
 
 
 
 
'Twas the Night Before Christmas,
and the pop-up was stored.
It was too cold to camp,
for the cold I abhorred.
 
I'd settled in for the night,
Just to read a good book,
when I thought I heard something,
so I'd better go look.
 
I peeked out of the door,
and what did I see?
A strange apparition
appeared before me.
 
You will not believe
this true story, I fear:
'twas a jolly old man,
with eight tiny reindeer.
 
I never had thought
it could happen this way,
but those eight tired deer
were pulling a sleigh!
 
He said they had labored
from Cape Town to Nome,
and needed some rest,
before heading home.
 
He'd noticed my pop-up,
begging pardon to ask,
could they possibly use it,
before ending their task?
 
"Why sure!", I exclaimed,
"It has plenty of power-
the battery
