In the year of our Lord,
Two thousand and four,
The country gave Dubya
A term of four more . . .

And while there was nary
A recount nor chad,
Many stayed angry,
If not even mad . . .

The news of the day
Had shootings and plight,
With bombings in Baghdad
And no end in sight . . .

The terrorists fleeing,
Yet fighting with haste,
And rulers still vying
For nuclear waste . . .

So say what you like
Of two thousand and four,
It sure was a year,
A true year for more . . .

But what of the Business,
The Profession, the Trade . . .
It still was a hummin?EUR??,,????'???
And money was made.

Construction was cookin?EUR??,,????'???
No time to relax . . .
As fast as they built?EUR??,,????'???em
They sold to the max.

It cost you for lumber,
For steel and for gas,
with no drag on building,
It continued en masse . . .

So like it or not
This two thousand and four . . .
It sure was a year
To be planning for more.

Now, finding and keeping
A staff of good grade,
Continues a problem
That soon will not fade . . .

For tighter the borders
And smaller the schools . . .
With greater demands
You?EUR??,,????'???re not lookin?EUR??,,????'??? for fools

As fast as you found them,
You put them to work.
Just ?EUR??,,????'??get the jobs done,?EUR??,,????'??
Without going berserk . . .

So what can you say
Of this year of our Lord?
It was simply a year,
To be looking for more . . .

And now we reflect,
On what caused us to thrive . . .
Oh, we?EUR??,,????'???re lucky to be here,
To still be alive . . .

For many have left us,
The good ones it seems . . .
They always keep leaving
Yet filling our dreams.

But onward they push us,
There?EUR??,,????'???s no looking back . . .
With the help of those great ones,
We?EUR??,,????'???re staying on track.

So onward it is . . .
With memories galore . . .
This wonderful year,
Was a good year for more!

And now as we look,
At two thousand and five . . .
A year full of promise
In which we can thrive . . .

With interest arisin?EUR??,,????'???
And senses alert . . .
It won?EUR??,,????'???t be a year
To be thinking inert.

The country is growing,
There?EUR??,,????'???s lots of momentum . . .
As fast as you build?EUR??,,????'???em
They?EUR??,,????'???ll sell?EUR??,,????'???em and rent?EUR??,,????'???em . . .

The landscape is moving
There?EUR??,,????'???s great things in store . . .
So go out and get?EUR??,,????'???em
And do it some more!

–God Bless You All
Have a Wonderful Christmas
A Great Holiday Season
And a Fantastic 2005!!!
