    Congratulations Mr Shank I don't think you will ever look at christmas the same way again

    Bob Shank

    For total life management whom shall we thank?
    I think none other than the author, Bob Shank
    A proclaimed loner that should never be alone
    A Poet Laureate that has denounced his throne

    He writes to express to us each thought
    About what is right, and what is not.
    His friend Slavious may be uncouth
    But Bob always seems to seek the truth

    Though descended from a native son
    He's not so proud of all that's been done
    There's no more honesty can you find
    Than the one who freely speaks his mind

    Tolerant, gentile and ever so mild
    Except when there is abuse of a child
    The very idea makes him so mad
    I know he will make a great dad

    Moose was the name of one of Bob's best friends that passed away a few weeks ago. I am presuming that is where Xavier's Moose nickname comes from. I think anyway

    I wish him well on his journey through fatherhood and its many sleepless nights ... lol
    And hope he now believes "wishes do sometimes come true" and am certainly very happy that this one did for him.
