2nd year MLIS student, Leah Brisco, was present during the decorating of the SIM office and was so inspired that she composed a Christmas poem for us.  She has agreed to share her composition and start the Christmas spark on the blog.  Feel free to jump in with your seasonal contributions!

Twas the second of December, and all through the Rowe

All the creatures were decorating, with tree and with bow, 

Old boxes of ornaments, Santas, and more

Were pulled from the closet and put on the floor, 

Then one said to another, do you want this old stuff?

We don’t need it all – we’ve already enough! 

I said “oh yes please!, my apartment’s quite bare,

And it would make such a difference, to deck the halls there”. 

And what to my wondering eyes did appear?

But a box full of candles, tin plates, and other gear. 

And I thanked them all quietly, as I walked out of sight, “Merry

Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
