Formula Claus

With our deepest apologies to Clement Clark Moore.

**************

Twas the night before October and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring not even a mouse,

When what to our wondering eyes did appear,
But a kind hearted man visiting children so dear.

All through Anhui he worked without pause,
Bringing nutrition as "Formula Claus".

He has no red suit and doesn't bring toys
but instead a full tummy to sweet girls and boys.

You can tell by their smiles that they love good "Saint Ming"
And their increase in weight really makes our heart sing.

So thanks to our friends who give children "milk money".
Because of your kindness, their future's now sunny.

(okay...we already apologized for the bad poem. But thanks to all our nutrition donors for brightening the lives of some very special kids, and thanks to Zhang Ming for traveling all around Anhui playing Formula Claus)
