(In the spirit of the New Yorker's annual New Year poem,
QG once again offers her own version for 2008.)
As New Year's Eve turns into night,
Come and gather 'round the light.
Gentle Readers, it is time
For QG's Annual New Year's Rhyme!
Hear the New Year's tocsin sound,
Champagne toasts are making rounds.
See, confetti fills the air
Balloons add festivity and flair
To our party on the 'net.
Fellow bloggers, join our fete!
RevGals first year as "corp" is now past,
May it flourish and may it last.
Thanks to Mary Beth, Abi, the Cheese and Songbird,
To St. Casserole, Reverendmother, and Cathy a grateful word
For all of your effort, prayer, time and thought
The blessings to many this blogring has brought.
Huzzah for the Presbybloggers who are on my list
Of posters whose writing should never be missed.
There's Hans who runs Presbyweb there in the crowd
Let's give him a hand and a cheer that is loud!
Toasts to PresbyGal whose stories sublime
I hail today with this humble rhyme.
May Toby continue his "Classical" views,
And Mike Kruse inform us with his PresbyNews.
Give it up for Stushie the PresbyRingMaster--he's one faithful bro' !
Kudos to Mark Time, Jan, Viola, , Denis, Will ,Geek Rev
and Beau.
On break from seminary is our own Gannet Girl
Learning Greek, OT and New keeps her in a whirl.
See on the dance floor are newlywed Revs. Kim and Dave,
Whose Wyoming doin's are always a fave.
Yee-Hah! The Texas Towncar of Justice finally arrives
With Lone Star bloggers to bring the party alive!
Say a big "hi y'all" to zorra, Rach, Jan,and Mindy
Little david, the Psalmist, Dogblogger and Wendy.
Other blogging friends too numerous to mention
Are now in the hall and need some attention.
Singing Owl, Will Smama, Sue, Lutheran Chick, and Teri
Are gathering 'round the punch bowl and making merry.
What will the New Year bring to the PCUSA,
General Assembly is up coming and New Wineskins are seeking another way?
This world needs the church proclaiming Christ's light
Far more important than continuing our internal fight.
We'll bid adieu to Kirkpatrick, retiring Clerk.
Who will replace him and will the change work?
Reverend Joan Grey is in her last year
As faithful and pastoral Moderator without peer.
To other dear bloggers who have missed
special mention, I send a kiss
Of peace, and beg you not to pout.
Just join me in a great shout out!
And as the year 2007 slips away
Let's count our blessings and let us pray
That God's grace and hope in the world will abide
Until next year's holy Christmastide.
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM QG !
