Oh, How I Miss You Blogfest: A Holiday Roast

                                                                        

Andrew Leon,   Matthew MacNish,  and   Alex J. Cavanaugh  are hosting the  Oh, How I Miss You Blogfest.  The  purpose is to show our appreciation for the special bloggers in our lives, and to highlight those we would miss the most. We were supposed to stop at three, but there were many more to thank for not giving up on me. 

     A Holiday Roast

     It all began you see,

     When  Arlee Bird said the word,

     Followers advanced from A to Z.

     mybabyjohn welcomed me the same,

     And waited several months,

     Before revealing her real name.

     Talli  is such a prolific blogging neighbor,

     That she'll probably write her next book,

     In the midst of going through labor.

     Julie  is always giving,

     Without wondering what she'll get.

     Especially if she's helping,

     Some poor, neglected pet.

     When most people wouldn't bother,

     Hilary  never gave up on Blogger.

     For months when her comments would fail,

     She sent them straight to my email.

     Robyn  is the funniest by far,

     If she says, "Tall, dark, and handsome,"

     Odds are she's describing a chocolate bar.

     If mystery is your passion,

     Michelle  will whip one up,

     In Five Sentence fashion.

     Al  is another comedic master,

     Throw any historical event his way,

     And he'll turn it into laughter.

      A triple shout-out to:
      Ros,  L.G.. and  Susan ,                                                    

      I admire your creativity,

     And find you most amusin.'

     Rhonda's  back from a worldwide tour,
     She was my true blogging mentor,
     And someone I would miss for sure.

     A special thanks to our  Fearless Leader,       

     Who tends to his devoted ducklings,

     Like Father Goose on speed reader. 

     Without all of your support,

     It wouldn't be the same.

     I hope you'll forgive me,

     If I didn't include your name.
