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.”
