<h3><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; color: #800000; font-size: large;"><strong>Those Damned Giant Schnauzers</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; color: #800000; font-size: large;"><strong>Author: Tim Nyx</strong></span></p>
<h4><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; color: #800000; font-size: medium;"><strong>Got up this morning there rose such a clatter.<br />
Seems all the Giants bark loud, &#8220;what&#8217;s the matter?&#8221;<br />
I stumble and grumble in a daze down the hall<br />
It&#8217;s 4 in the morning&#8230;I bounce of the wall</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m sleepy and tired but I must move quick<br />
the neighbors know damn well this noise ain&#8217;t St. Nick<br />
So out through the back door the cold airs a blast<br />
my arms sprouting goosebumps, my hands, feet, and ass!</strong></p>
<p><strong>When to my suprise the barking does cease<br />
I notice some red pants, they&#8217;re not in one piece<br />
a black boot lay mangled, the thought does occur<br />
is that an old dog toy? or some kind of fur?</strong></p>
<p><strong>The chill of the night, the glint in the snow<br />
I swear I hear sleighbells, but don&#8217;t really know<br />
my wife sleeps through all this, it did not arouse her<br />
then someone starts yelling, &#8220;those damn Giant Schnauzers!!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>I look to the sky, and what do I see<br />
an angry old fat man he&#8217;s pointing at me<br />
the scene look so strange, what&#8217;s with this old coot?<br />
he&#8217;s up on my roof with no pants and one boot</strong></p>
<p><strong>Do my eyes deceive me? Could this really be?<br />
Is Santa Claus angry? He&#8217;s yelling at me?<br />
I brought you some presents he starts to explain<br />
but those crazy guard dogs they must be insane</strong></p>
<p><strong>I talk to ALL animals but these, they don&#8217;t care<br />
I slid down the chimney, I tried to be fair<br />
the black ones, they warned me, they barked, meaning halt<br />
but what the hells wrong with those Pepper and Salts?</strong></p>
<p><strong>They didn&#8217;t say one thing and they didn&#8217;t wait<br />
I popped out the chimney and fell for the bait<br />
then Santa stared at me, his face got all red<br />
He pointed at Rico and here&#8217;s what he said</strong></p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s that one, that bastard, I saw him last year<br />
I should have remembered he counted reindeer<br />
My sleigh is too large, your roof was too steep<br />
I parked in your backyard, I thought he was sleep</strong></p>
<p><strong>I should have just skipped you, I think I&#8217;m too nice<br />
the black ones, they chased me, and not once but twice<br />
That big one, yeah Quintus, he chewed my back cushion<br />
the Black Russian bit me, I know his name, Pushkin</strong></p>
<p><strong>That silly one there, he acts like a wolf<br />
he pulled off my pants, yeah that one there, Ulf<br />
The Doberman, Hercules and Sirius as well<br />
They snatched off my right boot and chewed it to hell</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m not coming back, lets make this quite clear<br />
what&#8217;s pissin&#8217; me off is I said that last year<br />
These Giants, they&#8217;re crazy where ever I go<br />
They act like there sleeping, I don&#8217;t really know</strong></p>
<p><strong>But this I can tell you and matter of fact<br />
those crazy ass Giants don&#8217;t know how to act<br />
I get here, I park it, so how in the heaven<br />
do eight tiny reindeer become only seven?</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve traveled the world, and delivered my wares<br />
but when I see Giants, their acting like bears<br />
my elves won&#8217;t go near them, Miss Claus she gets pissed<br />
and no &#8220;normal&#8221; person puts one on their list</strong></p>
<p><strong>With a snap of his finger the sleigh starts to rise<br />
He turns and looks at me with fire in his eyes<br />
Oh don&#8217;t think its over, he raises his fist<br />
This whole things recorded, tell the Cybergiant list</strong></p>
<p><strong>You Giant folks listen, he told me to write<br />
He said tell them all that the next Christmas night<br />
prepare for the onslaught, and do heed his call<br />
there will be some puppies for each one and all!!!!</strong></p>

Abraham Lincoln</p>

Harry  S. Truman</p>
<p>If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.<br />

<strong>Now this is so true- If my dog dismisses you or gives me cause not to trust I follow lead ! Good dog.</strong></p>
