Hi all,
I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.
Everyone is welcome!
I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.
This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.
So, I hope it catches on !
So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

A Firemans Poem
Twas the day before Christmas, around 5:38,
When two heroes appeared at the Heavenly gates
Their badges were crosses, their uniforms blue,
How they had got there, they hadn't a clue.
"A moment ago we were fighting a fire,
To save a neighbor's house, maybe something more dire
Is this some kind of dream? Or is it a ruse?
There are lives at stake here, there's no time to lose!"
When what to their wondering eyes should appear,
But an old Roman officer, his voice rang out clear,
"I am Florian, patron to all of your calling,
I am sorry to tell you, you are two of the fallen.
Like the Three Forty Three, like the Charleston Nine
And the Hackensack Six, you have died in the line
of duty. You were racing to put out a blaze,
But someone who hated the world and its ways
Had decided he wanted to win some cheap fame
By setting a trap, killing whoever came.
Do not be too sad, for though you have died
Today you won your place here in Heaven most high."
The heroes' jaws dropped, they could scarce take it in
They had so many questions, where should they begin?
"Do not fear, fallen heroes," said the saint with a bow
God will see to the care of your families now.
Though the world appears lost, His way is still true,
And it will not be long till this world is renewed.
Come now and behold Him who loved you the most."
The heroes saluted and followed their host.
But they heard him call out as they entered the light,
"Be strong, true believers, and keep up the fight"
