A Recorded Message

Hello
This is a recorded message
I am Dan Johnston
Though I am not with you physically, I am with you in heart
With all my heart
And I am thinking about you in hope that you are doing fine
And I can't wait to get back home
To hear the wonderful stories about what's been happening in your life
And I hope you'll bear with me on my return
As I rave on and on about my own experiences
And bringing you up to date on each and every exciting detail
Of these two weeks of holidays
That I am enjoying in the western sun
In the mean time, please keep happy
As I am on vacation and do not have time to worry about you
However, I will be thinking about you affectionately
And missing you very much
Because I have said this, it would be very polite for you to feel the same
And perhaps you could comfort one another about my absence
By consoling each other about it
And talking about how much you miss me
And so, I say unto you
Merry Christmas to you
And a happy, happy new year
