All over the world, and just in one night...
"Can't see how to do it, time just seems to tight!"

Then an idea occurred to this crafty old man...
A nice diesel engine would aid in his plan.

"With reindeer in front, and a Cummins in back.....
Every child on earth, gets a toy from my sack!"

So, preserved was the legend, AND later that night.....
As he zoomed over rooftops, and flew out of sight.

He was heard to have said, to one and to all....
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ................. Actually nobody could hear what he said over the noise of the Cummins.

I love it, but he should have gone with a Common Rail so someone could hear him.

YOU TALKING TO ME

Didn't! When you have not much of a life you waste lots of time!

Got the idea from 'Larry the Cable Guy" and his politically correct version! Will e-mail it to you.

Not to nit pick...but:

"Can't see how to do it, time just seems to tight!"

Should Be:

"Can't see how to do it, time just seems too tight!"

Might as well be right if we are going to publish the thing! haha!
