Ah Tis Nothing Greater Than

Ah... tis nothing greater than... malfunctioning heater on brisk winter day! Thee particular date being December twenty eighth, two thousand nineteen, I saith the Jack of all trades maintenance technician Kevin Blank said he would notify HVAC expert in good faith, yet to compliment clangorous din... I called upon the ghost of Marley's wraith. Thus despite compressor issuing cacophonous, deafening, ear splitting noise clattering din louder than convention of reindeer - doubled as all boys (choir) followed by cavalcade of santa claus, he employs, the missus of course with equipoise, and countless elves pressed for service mending broken brand new toys.
