You can’t imagine what’s inside!
Just pull the ribbon, it’ll come untied

Dozens of little packages, begin to pop
Box after box, from bottom to top

Filled with a treasure, especially for you
Each tiny gift, has a trinket or two

One you will cherish, ever so dear
Good tidings to bring us, ever so near

The wonders this little sack does hold
Can never be borrowed, bought or sold

The thing inside, a sheer work of art
All of my love, straight from my heart

The Christmas tree was lit
Only one thing left to do
String together popcorn
To create the perfect view

I carefully threaded the needle
Making sure it was nice and strong
One by one, I gathered them
To make the strand grow long

There was just one problem
My tree was much too tall
I couldn’t reach the very top
Else I’d surely face a fall

So I sat down in my comfy chair
Took the big bowl, nice and red
Forget about stringing popcorn
I’ll just eat it all, instead

He is my mystery, my shadow in the dark

He moves like the rain, leaving no mark

Obscure, in the night, he leads me to find

The thoughts that wander, inside my mind

Silent words, yet I can hear his voice, so clear

I move closer to him, becoming quite cavalier

He stretches his hands, a gesture towards me

Perhaps he is inviting, my thoughts to be free

To let go of my fears, and throw open the door

His secret communications, I can no longer ignore

Is this how you like it?

Slathered on, rather thickly

Then there is only one thing

You shouldn’t try too quickly

Once you take a bite

Of your peanut butter sandwich

Be sure to chew it carefully

Or you’ll be at a disadvantage

Your words will stick together

And you’ll really start to stutter

No one will understand you

When you speak in beanut putter

Always hiding, within a book

Never glancing out, to take a look

Delph the Elf, was a studious guy

Never cared much for Santa, but why?

No one knew, twas a puzzle to all

How could he do this, oh what gall!

Christmas was near, the children, excited

Yet this little elf would stay home, he decided

He sat on his chair, day after day

Night after night, he liked it this way

See, he didn’t care, he kept to himself

Thankful for not being stuck on a shelf
