(ET) A Christmas visit From Bill Gunn



Title: A Christmas visit From Bill Gunn

A Christmas visit From Bill Gunn


Twas the night before Christmas--

And In basement of house

All the Elec-Trak's were stored

As still as a mouse.

Spare parts were suspended

From the ceiling with care

So in case of a breakdown

I would not despair.

They were primed, newly painted--

A bright yellow show:

I'd make sure that by springtime

These, Traks were ready to go.

 

When out in the drive

There arouse such a clatter

I sprang from my polishing

To see what was the matter.

I saw there a driver

On Elec-Trak he'd come;

I knew right away

This must be Bill Gunn.

Quicker than a snow cat

His Elec-Trak it came

Bill's jacket Trak-yellow

His cap was the same.

His machine was energized

With Trojans so quick

I knew in a moment

He could rival St. Nick.

With more power than Wheel-Horse

More rapid than Deere

Moonlit snow-blower flashing.

Bill sparkled with cheer.

With benevolent smile,

Onward he came.

The Elec-Trak bore gifts--

Parts with address and name.

With a Wink of his eye,

And a nod of his head,

Bill let me know

I'd go happy to bed.

And I heard him exclaim

As he drove out of sight

"Keep those batteries charged!

And mow that lawn right."
