Christmas Secrets
Marie Irish
Think of the thousands of secrets
That are tucked securely away,
All sorts of wonderful secrets
To be revealed on Christmas day.
Secrets large and secrets small,
Secrets short and secrets tall,
Secrets thick and secrets thin -
Won't the folks who get them grin?
There are secrets flat on their backs.
There are others hanging up high,
Some are standing smack on their heads,
Some in pitchy-black corners lie.
Secrets round and secrets square,
Secrets dark and secrets fair,
Secrets sour and secrets sweet,
Secrets to wear and secrets to eat.
And if all these secrets were one,
And laid out on a long, long shelf,
I think it would surely surprise
Dear old jolly Santa himself.
