Playing Santa

People react very differently

Last time I got to work very early

And place a gift on desk of staff who’ll be there

Yule tide is my favorite time of the year

I like to hear their varied surprise

Notice their expressions and the joy in their eyes

Giving is only special when others show glee

So often I never let them know it was from me

And to throw them off I might give myself one too

Now that might ensure they never have a clue

Then quietly some people may come and say

A private thank you and wish me a Happy Christmas Day!
