'Twas The Night Before Quixmas
By David Robison in Humor
In the spirit of the Holiday Season; I present to you my attempt(feeble, as it may be) at poetry.
"TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE QUIXMAS"
with apologies to Clement Clarke Moore
'Twas the night before Quixmas, when all through my home
Not a creature was stirring, not even the gnome.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of beaches danced in their heads.
And mamma in her kerchief, (what is that, really?)
I don't wear a cap; cause it makes me look silly
When out on the lawn there arose such a ruckus
I sprang from my bed; tripped; and fell on my tukkus.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon shone on the lawn, no snow was to be seen,
I live on the Gulf Coast; the grass is still green.
Then my weary eyes happen to see way up in the sky,
A flying H2, pulled by suited men; each with a red tie.
The driver of the rig was lively and quick,
But it was Dex Yager, not St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name!
Now Billy! Now Jimmy! Randy and Don!
On Orrin! On Kanti! On Danny, and Ron!
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall,
You gotta dream big, if you wanna have it all!
As rumors and writings on blogs will fly,
when the topic of Quixtar is given a try;
So up to the rooftop the minions they flew,
with that truck full of stuff and ole Dexter too.
And then in an instant, I heard through the ceiling,
the theme from "Rocky"; that tune still leaves me reeling.
As I closed the window, and then turned around,
Down the chimney came Dex with more than a bound.
He was dressed all in blue, a three-piece suit,
with a cross on a chain and a red tie to boot.
A bundle of products he had flung on his back,
and he looked just like a Platinum opening his pack.
His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry,
He was high on XS; I think it was Cherry.
He had a beard, now white as snow,
but I couldn't wear one, I was just an IBO.
Dex would never have a pipe, so no smoke did he blow.
A wreath around his head? He'd prefer a halo.
He had a broad face and a round little belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
He was still real chubby, in spite of his health,
You'd think he'd own a gym with all of his wealth.
And as I was thinking he should go for a jog;
It hit me that I should write about this on my blog.
He mumbled to himself, and he looked my way,
"No Tools for You; you never signed the BSMAA!"
He said, "See you at the top" and then rubbed his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to the Hummer, to his minions gave a whistle,
and away they all flew with the speed of a missile.
But I heard him exclaim, as he flew away from me,
"Happy Quixmas to all, and to all, "Up Your PV!"

That was awesome! Hey were does Joe M, and Larry W fit in. I guess they wouldnt be there since Larry called Santa satan at a night owl once. Oh well I am almost 1 year free from Quixtar and I am much better now then this time last year.

So David, did you make more than in Quixtar, is that why you are better off now? From the way you talk I doubt you do, you more like quit just to feel "secure" with a job.
just a guy, Yea that's right. We all quit because we have a loser mentality and it shouldn't have mattered that many of us were abused and decieved by upline in search of a dollar by any means neccesary. Get real!!
Just a Guy
Continue to drink your XS. And dont assume that you know why I quit.
By the way I do have more money now a year later. Oh and I also have something that I was not aloud too have because it was not going towards my business. A savings account. with money in it not going to TOOLS!
David in Maryland:
"Oh and I also have something that I was not aloud too have because it was not going towards my business. A savings account."
WHAT? Are you mentally ok?
gae, I am happy you confess the truth.
Just a Guy
You have no clue what I meant by saying I wasnt aloud too have a savings account.
It meant that was money just sitting there no being used for my business. Thats what my sponsor and all my uplines preached. TOOLS TOOLS MUST BUY TOOLS.
So dont you worry about my mental state.
"So David, did you make more than in Quixtar, is that why you are better off now? From the way you talk I doubt you do, you more like quit just to feel "secure" with a job."
Tony, is that you???
Here is a funny thought. Through many readings on this blog site, I tend to find over and over that the Quixtar business is legit (by many people). People don't seem to argue that much. It is people's upline and sponsors that they have a bad experience. So, my thought: Since you all agree on that why don't you start your own line of affiliation through here? Since are all in the same boat and have been mistreated by people...surely that wouldn't happen on here.
Anyway, just a thought. Oh and the poem was very creative! Made me laugh, and yes I am a very satisfied IBO, with a great mentor and upline.
Thanks for the creativity!

I was wondering, just how INDEPENDENT are you? I mean, I know you can TALK to ANYONE you like (EXCEPT Crossline), but except for that, how MUCH do you REALLY CONTROL? And how much do you have to FOLLOW?
"It meant that was money just sitting there no being used for my business. Thats what my sponsor and all my uplines preached. TOOLS TOOLS MUST BUY TOOLS."
Wait a minute. Did your sponsor tell you that your money should be used only on tools, nothing else? I find that hard to believe. neither my sponsor nor any other sponsor have I heard saying this rubbish. Either you misunderstood him or just ignore him; if necessary change line of sponsorship.

Willy to answer your questions, I have full control (except those rules and regulations through Quixtar). Second, I follow only when I know or think it will benefit not just me, but my team as well (and you would be stupid not to follow those who are successful). I do not follow blindly, nor am I ever taught to do so.
I think a lot of it also has to do with that I am a distance from my upline mentors. So, some of the stuff they teach I can't necessarily use in my position.
In a different blog--I posted that I run a business outside of a Q* business. I pay for and "follow" what others have done in that industry as well. I will tell you it was and is a heck of a lot more than what Q* and the business teams "costs".
To follow success is intelligence, to follow blindly is ignorant (socialist viewpoint).
Hope that helps explain my position.
Still like the poem too. That was funny the second time I read it too.
I also really enjoyed the poem. However like sass, I am a very satisfied IBO. I'm proud of the business I own, and the people I associate with. I am in a strong and powerful line of sponsorship. My upline doesn't force me to do anything. They sit down with me and look at what I can do, and then work from there.
I'm sorry that so many of you have had bad histories with your uplines or sponsers. I know plenty of my friends who had the same issues. However, my friends saw the oppurtunity and that is exactly what this business is. It's an oppurtunity to make something more of yourself. The books, the cd's, everything is put in place to help you grow. Weather I become a millionaire or not through this business I will stick with it to the end because of the people that it helps.
David - that was BRILLIANT!!!! ROFLMAO!!!
