Here is the poem I created to go with the card.

I got the most charming reply and thank you from a friend who certainly learned his lesson about doing it himself!
And I wish you a Merry Christmas, too, dear Jeanne. During all the bells and whistles of the season, I wish you and Don some quiet times together so love can sing their own carols in your ears. As for me, I could use a little more humility this hear. Yesterday I carried five storage boxes filled with manuscripts and magazine down two flights of stairs to the basement. After three, I sat down for a few minutes to rest. When Sandy saw what I had done, she questioned my judgement. I assured it was no problem. Sometimes being a man can be unhandy.
