This crazy week of skits and rhyme,
Hey, its secret santa time!
So come make something for your Santee
or something for the Kirkland tree!
A gift, a treat, an ornament ?
Whatever you make it is time well spent.
Ribbons, bows and sparkles bright!
Cookies and art supplies in the night.
You'll find this in the dining hall,
So come on Kirkland, one and all!
