Away in a Warehouse.................(to the tune Away in a Manger)

Most sadly I missed the Upstart Press Christmas party earlier this week because of a family commitment but later I heard about the staff performance !  Too good not to share.

Away in a Warehouse

(to the tune of Away in a Manger)

Away in a warehouse

No time for a beer

There’s keying and packing

And phones ringing clear

There’s books by the boxful

There’s pallets to go

There’s trucks and there’s forklifts

All controlled by Jo

The shops they are calling

We send what we can

Of Fishes and Baxter

And Cory and Dan

We love thee, dear Whitcoulls

We love Paper Plus

And the Warehouse and Indies

Over you we do fuss

Come to us bestsellers

We ask thee to stay

On our lists forever

Our bankers do pray

Bless all our dear writers

Bring talents to bear

So we can lead Nielsen

From now to next year
