I remember the
Christmas I
asked for
Lincoln Logs.
***
That’s all I wanted
***
Lincoln Logs
***
But my folks were
practical people,
***
and instead of Lincoln Logs,
***
they got me
some Eisenhower
artificial
wood-paneling.
***
So, on
Christmas morning,
while my friends
were playing with
their Lincoln Logs,
building
forts and cabins
***
I was re-doing the den.
.
t r e f o l o g y 
I got shelves… for the garage.

Honest Abe was famous for Lincoln Sausage. He advised folks to drench his sausage with Log Cabin maple syrup.

Nothing better with griddlecakes. Or, pancakes. Or, hotcakes. Or, even flapjacks. In fact, I’ll take a plate of each one, please. Thanks, D

LOL! My parents were also fond of substitutions! And paneling. It’s impossible to find real Lincoln logs these days – they’re made out of plastic.

Yeh, my family was big on substitutions, too. Until I wised up and started asking for the substitutions … And i miss the days of paneling. If I had a den, right now, it would be wood-paneled without a second of hesitation. Thanks, JT

This Presidentially ligneous post is a little puzzling for a blockhead in another hemisphere, but the tone suggests commiserations are in order.
Hope this year’s appropriation of the winter solstice involves joyous DIY.

That Eisenhower artificial wood paneling goes really well with IKEA furniture.

Very funny, Geo., nicely wrote. Reminds me of the year I got a wood-burning kit and used it to write “I cannot tell a lie” on a panel of fake George Washington cherry.
