Twas the week before Christmas and all over the lake
Alabama power was stirring making quite a big wake
An owner had replaced a worn two by four
Then came home to find a note on his door
As the water receded, we looked on with dread
To see all the washes in the 490 lake bed
Common sense says just fill those holes with lake dirt
But the note on the door says that “will not work”
When out on the lawn there arose such a splatter
I sprang from by bed to see what was the matter
If you move one rock there will be much clatter
AP will make you put it back, and you will be sadder
Oh no, the footing of my sea wall has washed in
Send in that permit and write $250 with your pen
We’ll tell you what you can do with YOUR land
And don’t give us lip ‘cause we are “the man”
So I called the phone number of the lake daddy
He said he would lead the parade anytime we are ready
He questioned our wash problems because there were no big boats
Since the 3-lake ban had rid us of those folks
The man was named BigFoot, so lively and quick
He came to our rescue, said he could be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name?
Now Catboat, now Maverick, now Jlazc and ‘Hound
On Summer, On Pontoon, Rude, Kizma and MartiniMan
With Lotowner,lamont, Hodja and Mack
We must will send them a message and take our lake back.

Business must be slow, and the Christmas shopping is done. You may want to restock your supply of eggs and nog, something tells me you now have none.

Oh my, we must stop the presses
For it seems LNG has run out of nog,or so SL guesses,
Now it may be true that is the reason
That LNG has ripped off a poem of the season,
Just to keep his/her senses steady
But alas, this is more serious than you may admit to already,
For if we'uns don't replenish his egg and nog and brew
I'm afraid BigFoot may include LNG in his year end review,
So Lake Martin regulars take heed and rise up
Go out and get LNG replenished before tonight you supp,
Otherwise we may for another day have to endure
More of this rhyme and verse and manure.

You need to spend less time making up poems and more time finishing some of your 13 unfinished projects…….

I'm sorry but I will not be able to get to any of them until the egg and nog are replenished. And, if I can get that sticker from APCO, then there are seven more projects on that list.

I think you summed it up pretty good, rude. I will need my supply of Egg, Nog, and Brew replenished at least before the APCO folks get there. That may be the only way I will get approval for my BIG boathouse with floodlights pointed at my neighbors.
P.S. If BigFoot gave awards for best forum alias yours would win hands down.

Floodlights?

Please be sure to use energy efficient lighting. 35W HID bulbs and ballast will save you money in the long run, and your neighbors will appreciate your supplying them with a nice white light so that they can read in bed. The yellow-tinted light from standard halogen lights would not be appreciated. What kind of speakers were you planning on installing on the dancefloor above the boathouse?

That was a fun thread you started, thanks........hope you get your replenishments in time to share with the bad ol' APC people so you get what you want! On the alias.....you are kind with your remarks, however, one stired up lady much earlier made a comment that the alias fit the tone of my contributions to a tee!! Merry Christmas to you and yours.......
