Christmas doggerel for Rob Hardy, Northfield blogger
(With apologies to the Carter Family and Uncle Tupelo)
Rob Hardy, you are a literary man
Prob'ly carry two pens every day
Raise two sons and blog a little bit
We read your writing that way
We read your writing that way
Rob Hardy, you write about the Waterford Bridge
And about the bur oak trees
And you write about your attempts to gestate yogurt
And 'bout your kid's escape to the library
All the way to the library
Rob Hardy, we only know you through your blog
And your comments on ours, too
We have never met you but you're sure a nice guy
Rob Hardy, Merry Christmas to you
And to the boys and to Clara, too
Well, you've been to the east and you've been to the west
You've been almost the whole world round
You've lived in olde England and been to London
But we're glad you're in our nice little town
We're glad you're in our nice little town
