‘Twas three nights before Christmas, when all through the floor
Not a creature was stirring, only the optical mouse;
Leave forms were accomplished with care,
In hopes that all would be on holidays would soon be there;
My Co-Employees were nestled all snug in their cubicles,
While visions of sugar-glazed hams danced in their heads;
And their mamma bringing out the fruit salad and sweet spagehetti,
It was mid-day and people were just settling down for a siesta or nap,
When out on the lobby there arose such a clatter,
It was Manong Guard singing “The Twelve Days Of Christmas”
And Acapella at That
It is the Christmas in the Philippine, when you hear something like that. And it leaves a lasting impression in one’s head – the LSS – Last Song Syndrome. If you were given a chance what would you things or objects would you put in the song? And to make it more interesting it should not be an electronic gadget – like an Ipad or a cellphone or any digital device. What would you put in?
This is what I would and did put in:
