Twas the 50th blog post

Twas the night before Christmas, and I sighed with glee,

The gifts were finally wrapped and under the tree.

At last! Spare time, well earned,

To do whatever it was I yearned.

I settled in my chair, and planned to check

If I had any e-mail on the internet.

But I clicked on my WordPress account, and what did I see,

The stats had been updated. Oh no! Can it be?

I rubbed my eyes and stared in wonder,

Could it be, was it really that magical number?

The number of posts that had started with a blank line,

Could I really have already written forty-nine?

Should I? Could I? Will it be risky?

To write before year’s end, number Fifty?

I would, I declared, write like bloggers I admire.

I will write a post to inspire!

I grabbed pen and paper, my iPad too,

And a laptop and a notebook, for I knew what I had to do.

For a writer’s job is never done,

Rewrites. Editing. Words to be spun.

Until at last I had a message from deep within my soul,

On this eve while we await a visitor from the North Pole.

So please join me and lift your glass of eggnog,

FOR THIS IS MY 50TH BLOG!

(AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!)
