He dipped his little finger in Though I said he should not. <o:p> </o:p> Go tell it to a ranger, Though she is not so unaware, Go tell it to a ranger, That tourists sure are dumb. <o:p> </o:p> A tourist from Ohio Thought bison hair so soft, He pulled a hank from one big bull And he was hurled aloft. <o:p> </o:p> Go tell it to a ranger, Though he is not so unaware, Go tell it to a ranger, That tourists sure are dumb. <o:p> </o:p> I Saw A Central Vent Delay  (to the tune of “I Saw Three Ships on Christmas Day”) <o:p> </o:p> I saw a Central Vent Delay, On op’ning day, on op’ning day, I had to wait to my dismay, On op’ning day in the morning. <o:p> </o:p> And Grotto Fountain would not play, On op’ning day, on op’ning day, The puny Central Vents did spray, On op’ning day in the morning. <o:p> </o:p> I wish those vents would go away On op’ning day, on op’ning day, I did not pay for one-foot play,             On op’ning day in the morning. Best wishes for great gazing in the new year,Steve Gryc  </div></body></html>
