An original poem inspired by ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore.
\n<\/p>\n
‘Twas the night before printing in the design house
\nAD’s were all fighting, To get the jobs out<\/p>\n
Prepressers exporting pdf’s all with care
\nIn the hopes that no errors would soon be found there.<\/p>\n
The designers wrestled with kerning and lead
\nWith hands all a-sweating and slamming their heads.<\/p>\n
The Editor nervous, the watch tik-tock-tack
\nRefuses to settle while his feet go tap-tap.<\/p>\n
When out in a cubicle arose such a clatter
\nDesigners from their chairs to see what the matter<\/p>\n
Then what to their wond’ring eyes should appear
\nThe designer, a smiling; Bob’s face all a-cheer!<\/p>\n
“He must’ve gone crazy” they mumbled about,
\n“I haven’t gone crazy” said Bob, with a shout.<\/p>\n
“I’ve figured it out; I’ve got a great plan!
\nNo worries about missing our printing time span!<\/p>\n
Forget all this printing, this paper and stuff;
\nWhen we can go global, online, with a puff!”<\/p>\n
The Editor smiled as he heard the ‘claimation
\nThis lil’ ol’ plan would soon take the nation!<\/p>\n
And now that design house is a drug shop
\nAnd our hero Bob is selling icicle pops<\/p>\n
The Editor smiles as he publishes blogs
\nNo problems, no worries; no cutting up logs.<\/p>\n
‘Twas the year without printing and what have we here?
\nBob and designers, dreaming of \u00c2\u00a0last year.<\/p>\n
So, before you complain about your poor little job
\nStop, count your blessings: at least you’re not Bob.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
