Thanks for the latest carols!  Next "Christmas in July" at the Park, those 
of us around should gather and carol the Inn with some of these wonderful 
verses!

> Dear Gazers,

> surprise when a temblor of inspiration struck suddenly a couple of weeks 
> ago, unsealing vast untapped reservoirs of hydrothermal verse.  One carol 
> gushed forth, then another, and ideas for still more came pouring out. 
> And you, fellow gazers, are the beneficiaries of my latest eruptive 
> activity.  Look.I even came up with two verses for "O Lone Pine Geyser"!

> O Lone Pine Geyser
> (to the tune of "O Christmas Tree")
>
> O Lone Pine Geyser at West Thumb,
> How lovely is thy setting,
> Where eager gazers are struck dumb
> To see your graceful jetting.
>
> We walk up for a closer look,
> But then park rangers throw the book.
> O Lone Pine Geyser at West Thumb,
> It's just so darn upsetting.
>
> O Lone Pine Geyser on the shore,
> Your rare displays are stunning.
> Your tall eruptions we adore;
> They cause us to come running.
>
> We rush in for a nearer view,
> Then hear some ranger shout "HEY, YOU!"
> O Lone Pine Geyser on the shore,
> Our wallets you keep dunning.

> The Tourist's Carol

> How come dumb Old Faithful
> doesn't go so high now?
> And why must we wait so long
> for it to erupt?
> Back in the old days,
> you could set your watch by it.
>
> How come they can't predict it?
> How come they haven't fixed it?
> How come we don't just nix it
> and go get some lunch?
