A Visit from St. Customer... A Landscaper's Tale Article by Jack

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the supply
house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a pipe mouse; The
orders were made in the office with care, In hopes that St.
Customer soon would be there; The workers were ready all snug in
their beds, While visions of giant sales danced in their heads;
And the supplies were ready, the plants all so lush, The owners
had settled in for the great new year rush; Then out on the lot
there arose such a clatter, They sprang from their seats to see
what was the matter. Away to the window they flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. When what to their
wondering eyes did appear with such luck, But a crew of eighteen
landscapers and a giant semi-truck; With a little old driver,
and hardly a cuss, They knew in a moment it must be St. Cus . .
.
And so St. Customer bought out everything in the store. His crew
loaded it up and . . .
He sprang to his truck, to his crew gave a whistle, And away
they all flew like the down of a thistle; But they heard him
exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all, and
to all a good-night!" __________________________________________
