Last Ticker of 2002

Another annum has ended, the fifth for this Ticker
We're all older, some balder, some a little bit thicker
But before you sit down to your holiday dish
The entire Ticker staff offers this holiday wish

Sit down with your family, whatever you COOK
Turn off your TV, take the phone off the HOOK
BURN some WOOD in your fire and make sure to share
Thanks for that in your life which is GOOD and is FAIR.

If you know what you want, drop Santa a HINT
Just remember that life's best won't cost you a CENT.

So, like each sensor at Spencer and each record of Chandler's
From the tranceiver at Beaver to the prop-vane at Antlers
Like Wister's thermistors and Bixby's barometer
To the Mesonet's last little cup anemometer

May your turkey be juicy and your ham be well-cured
And your holiday thoroughly quality assured

See you next year,
Deke
