Clerk: Twas The Night Before Blogfest

This little old blogger, so witty but slow,
I knew in a moment it must be DFO.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

“Now JBelle! now, Stickman! now, Nic and MikeK!
On, Idawa! On, JeanieSpokane! on Aliasjax and Mamajd!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”
