Christmas Card 1990

 


In Oct of 1990, I did a bungee jump dressed as Santa (QuickTime Movie). 


I used photo’s of this for my Christmas card.  I also wrote a
poem to go along with this.

 

The Legend of the Bungee Elves

 

Not long ago, St. Nick came to light,

“There’s too many people to reach in one night!”.

He hired some experts, paid consultants who’re wise,

to find better ways to beat the sunrise.

 

The Image Consultants said, “Nick, its the suit”,

“What you need is spandex and leathers to boot!”.

The Systems Consultants said “DELIVER BY WIRE!”,

“You can work from your PC while warmed by the fire”.

 

St. Nick said , “Heeey Maaan ... Now this isn’t right”,

“I’ve a crack team of Elves for whom falling’s no fright”.

“They’ll drop from the sky, each one with a gift”,

“Down through the chimney, BOING, right back up with a lift!!”

“They’ll moonwalk and wiggle (and giggle I think!)”,

and “Oh, so much faster”, he said with a wink.

 

So remember this Christmas,

to look out for these.

For Elves sometimes miss,

 

... and land in the trees.
