Twas days before Christmas when all through my mind
Were thoughts of the presents I had yet to find.
I put them away in a secret spot
The place of which I quickly forgot.

I pulled open cabinets and drawers galore
But no packages were found forever more
I tried my closet and under my bed
But only uncovered dust bunnies instead.

The time had arrived to take a break
A cup of coffee and a slice of cake
When what in my wondering brain should appear
The site of the gifts becoming so clear.

They were not in my bedroom or in my home
They were outside in the office along with my phone
I had put them so tenderly under the desk
So they wouldn’t be found by any sneaky guests

While all were busy away from the house
I carried them in with lingering doubts
One by one they were wrapped so precise
For all to receive and hopefully like.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025

Love
Francie
