Yes, here is yet another seasonal tune that I have ripped off to add
gazer-appropriate words. This is something that I have been doing every
year since posting "I'm Dreaming of a Mastiff Function" back in
1997. Some dyspeptic critics find my poetry wanting, but others are
so starved for geyser-related activities that they belt out these songs
unmindful of their strained rhymes. To the latter I send the following
geyser carol along with my best wishes for a great year of geyser gazing in
2009.<br>

Silver Globes</span></u></b><br>
(to the tune of “Silver Bells”)<br>
<br>
Silver Globes, Silver Globes,<br>
It’s gazing time in the basin.<br>
Pool and Cave, please behave,<br>
Soon it will be closing day.<br>
<br>
Basin boardwalks, busy boardwalks,<br>
Round with sinter all white<br>
In the air there’s the sweet smell of brimstone.<br>
Tourists shouting, gazers pouting<br>
>From the dawn to the night<br>
As they stare all day waiting to see,<br>
<br>
Silver Globes, Silver Globes,<br>
It’s gazing time in the basin.<br>
Slit and Twin, please begin,<br>
Soon it will be closing day.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
