A SURVEYOR’S CHRISTMAS Twas the night before Christmas and all through the shop, It's raining outside, that's good for the crops; I sit back and in my chair and reminisce of the years that's gone by,... I know I will retire soon, and that brings a tear to my eye; As I started with a stiff legged tripod, a string and a bob, It was hard work, but rewarding, and quite a good job; As time went on, I learned and read of all the new trends, And those I have worked with, I am proud to call friends; Everyone has gone home now to be with their loved ones on this blessed day, So I should lock up the doors and be on my way; With that, I will wish my brother's in arms who be in this business, A Happy New Year and a very Merry Christmas. by Mike Walters P.L.S.
