AAS Poem In honor of chat

[emwcee]

Last night's chat was so much fun, I got inspired to write a poem. I'm sorry if I left anyone out or got my facts mixed up. It was a late night. Here goes:

Late Night with the Sweepstakes
(from the Central Time Zone point of view)

It’s 11 pm and we’re in chat
Wondering where the teams are at
There’s Heidi, Di and Fladog Fan
Who’s Scott Davis, do you know the man?
An unsigned out teacher, that’s my guess.
Just like Joe Runyan’s GPS.

It’s 12 a.m. and we’re in chat
Wondering where Jeff and Mitch are at
Tangles just went back to bed
Flowerpower and Libby are here instead.
What’s the latest from Josh’s blog?
How’s Lance doing without his lead dog?

It’s 1 a.m. and we’re in chat
Wondering where the leader's at
Sugar river and SC Race fan
Are sharing tales of the Breaker clan
Meeting a musher would be a treat
Meeting an idita-buddy would be sweet

It’s 2 a.m. and we’re in chat
Wondering where the winner’s at
Lower 48's here and Tangles is back
John even came to join the pack.
We’re sleep deprived and playing pranks
A report that Lance has joined the ranks.

It’s 2:30 a.m. and we’re still in chat
Wondering where the info’s at
There must be problems with the ham
Then we see two dog teams on the cam
Heidi says, “I’m calling Nome.”
We anxiously wait for her to phone.

It’s 3:00 a.m. and we’ve leaving chat
Now we know where the winner’s at.
Mitch Seavey has won the race
A worthy musher gets first place
The idita-buddies can go to bed
While visions of sled dogs dance in their heads.

I love it! I could never put together something like that. I can write, but I can't make it rhyme.

Nice work, em.

Awesome as usual, EM dubya CEE
You've got the talent - that we can see.
Late nights and good friends: such inspiration!
Chatting inspires our I-buddy nation!

Such talented folks we have as Iditabuds

Ditto that FDF!
Another great one Emwcee!
No go to work on those articles you are getting paid for!! Thanks for the fun last night, never a dull night in chat!

[emwcee]

Thanks all, Sugar River, you're quite talented yourself. And, yes, Di, I am working on the articles that I actually get paid for -- as well as trying to get back to my normal life after the Iditarod sabbatical. (My family thanks me.)
