To the Editor:
'Twas the night before Christmas
And throughout the Midwest
Soybean farmers were reeling
They had done their best.
So many soybeans!
What are we to do?
Increase demand and
Find new uses, too!
"Dear Santa," wrote farmers
"We work hard and toil -
Can't you please help us
Use up our soy oil?"
And golly, that Santa!
That crafty old weasel -
Said, "I'll power my sleigh
With a blend of biodiesel!"
"It's environmentally friendly
So good for the earth
I'm happy to use it
I know what it's worth."
"I'll set the example -
Help farmers and friends
I'll clean up the air,
The ozone, I'll mend."
So Santa fueled up
As proud as could be,
With a blend of biodiesel
As easy as could be!
No exhaust could be seen
As he drove out of sight
"Soy to the World
On this soy-charged flight!"
