An Ode to JABB as it Begins its 5th Year
On an evening in July, chatters chat
Laughing, crying as they sat.
"Touched" had brought them there.
A show about angels and God and care.
The hours ticked by, the crowd all gone.
Only four people left as it neared dawn.
An idea started, plans began, a newsletter grew
And now, four years later, they're still not through.
Only an infant, not more than a few weeks old
JABB was faced with a travesty most bold.
John's hair was chopped, the long locks no more!
And like the locks, each little JABBers' jaw hit the floor.
What had happened? Where had the hair flew?
The answer was a secret, just between us and you.
John's beautiful hair off to Ireland had fled
Now occupying a small Chihuahua dog's head.
However, the hair was not the biggest story of the year
An angel assumed fake would on a TV show appear!
The real Andrew was on the news!
The demon he fought, did naturally lose.
Just when you thought newsletters can't be more strange
JABB announces it's found a home on the range
Dyeland was built and was the site of adventure and fun
Evil Kiwi kidnapped the princesses and caused John to run.
He rescued the princesses, he found Chiwawa's wife.
And that was just the beginning of Dyeland's long life
But what is a great civilization without a leader to lead?
There was only one person to give what Dyeland did need.
President Andrew was named and elected and won
Dyeland would now be tons more fun.
Years they pass and years they go.
Four years letter, we hope we don't slow.
There were worries about the fate of TBAA
Dyeland was beset with problems nearly every day
The co-presidents entered college and had less time
Not to mention we got attacked by a mime.
Okay, that's not true but what can you expect?
Show your poor author a bit of respect!
JABB has grown from 4 to over a hundred
From a top ten and two poems, easily read
To hundreds of webpages and a Yahoogroup
What will be thrown to us as the next loop?
Will year five mean aliens attack Dyeland?
Will Andrew and Adam really start that band?
Regardless of what follows, on one thing we can rely.
The craziness will always increase and the jokes fly
And the drool buckets will not be left to dry
After all, there's yet another season with John Dye!
Happy Birthday Greetings to the JABB Newsletter!!
