Twas the night before Christmas , And all though the house
not a creature was stirring not even the pen mouse
The socking were hung by the chimney with care,
In Hopes of Secret Santa will soon be there…


Please continue.....

The shavings were nestled all snug 'neath the lathe,
and the dust in my hair meant I should bathe;
Mamma donned a nighty, but I wore my smock,
and snuck out to visit a friend down the block...

 

[markgum]

When out of my shop there came such a noise,
I threw open the door to see what was the matter

 

[pentex]

The elves they did scatter
while momma was hollering
you better get in here

 

[Rarest wood]

SANTA RIP

This explaines why my kids got nothing at christmas:biggrin:

 

[Boomer]

With the lathe spinning nicely
and the wood blanks in line
as my gouge hit the tool rest
the pen design came to mind

 

[GoodTurns]

I trimmed off the corners
and squared up the blank
and remembered this season,
there are many to thank

for group buys and discounts
and tutorials galore
with buddies like you guys
who needs any more?

 

[scoutharps]

The shape worked up nicely with nary a catch,
sizing was perfect first time--perfect match!
I dribbled the BLO, wiped the CA so fine,
It wouldn't take much, this pen's starting to shine!

 

[sparhawk]

then what to my wandering eyes did appear... a crack in the snakewood.. not again this year!!!

 

[altaciii]

Nothing to add but am astonished at the number of talented poets in our midst.

So off to the refrigerator I went in search of my beer. :biggrin:
Opening the door I grabbed the can,
Pulled off the top and the nights drinking began.

Things didn't seem to be right
And as I tried to pull the can from my lips
It suddenly hit me with a flash of light ...

I had begun to drink my CA glue with some weird delight ...

And what suddenly did appear was an ambulance and two guys ready to remove my CA'd lips from my beer.:biggrin:

 

[chriselle]

But alas a black ninja suddenly appeared
with a bottle of solvent to unstick our good peer
and with a swish and swash it was all but done
to leave our hero muttering.."Who was that masked one?"

 

[j_b_fischer]

I stared at the crack, I was feeling despair,
Then came the elves to attempt a repair.
They filled and sanded and filled some more,
Doing all sorts of things to the piece of wood.
They sanded and polished until fingers were sore,
Then their task was complete, better than I ever could

 

[stolicky]

Stare at the shine on the pen I did dare,
However, I was blinded by the glare.
