[Audyssey] A Visit from Dick Clark.

[Phil Vlasak]

A Visit from Dick Clark.
by Phil Vlasak.
Inspired by Clement Clark Moore.  

'Twas the night before New Years, when all through the house,  
All the creatures were stirring, including  a mouse.  
The noise makers were hung by the TV with care,  
In hopes that Dick Clark soon would be there;  
The children were nestled far away from their beds,
While visions of Party favors danced in their heads;  
And mamma with her cow bell, and I in a funny cap,  
Had just scrambled our brains with Budweiser  on tap.
When there on the set there arose such a clatter,  
I sprang from the sofa to see what was the matter.
Away to the flat screen I flew like a flash,  
Picked up the remote and gave the volume a bash.  
The sign on the set revealed the Rockin' Eve show,  
Giving the view of  Times Square, way down below,  
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But the ABC special that we loved so dear.
With a young-looking host, so lively and quick,  
I knew in a moment it must be our Dick.  
More rapid than eagles his sponsors they came,  
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Discover Card, now, Panasonic and Korbel Champagne, 
And performances by  Willow Smith, Jennifer Hudson

and Train.
To the top of Times Square, to the top of the Ball!  
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"  
As dry leaves that before the wild confetti, fly,
And a Waterford Crystal ball drops in the sky;  
So up to the building-top the reporters they flew,  
With co-host Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark too.  
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof  
The traditional countdown,  without any goof.

And I heard him exclaim, as the ball  dropped so bright,
"Happy New Years to all, and to all a good-night."
