Years ago when teaching in a small town several miles south of here, I wrote a silly poem. People in my art world know I write songs but somehow they never put 2 and 2 together and know I write poetry -sometimes silly poetry. Anyway we had a custom in that high school that the teachers would draw names and bring that person a gift each day the week before Christmas break. One day I got almost to school and realized I'd forgotten my secret Santa gift. So I made a hand made card with the poem on it.
Moving too quickly with too much to take, Saint Nick left your present behind by mistake
But please don't feel cheated, act crazy or whine and maybe tomorrow two gifts you will find.
I was afraid it would be a dead giveaway, but the recipient had no clue.
