The Week Before Christmas

’Tis the week before Christmas, the time of the year
To eat lots of cookies and be of good cheer. 

To ring in the merry, to ban the distressing,

I’ll take just a minute to count up my blessings.

A book that’s been published and, yes - even sold;

That listing on Amazon never grows old.

A candidate nestled all snug in a job

After a phone call from Headhunter Bob.

A brightly wrapped e-mail upon my computer -

Yes! It’s a client who needs a recruiter.

And Old Ebenezer, a.k.a. Bob

Is thankful for ALL who have helped with my job:

The candidates, clients, the colleagues, and all

the ones who don’t silence my incoming call.

 And Ms. Cratchit, my co-author, skillful at rhyming-

Who puts words together with just the right timing.

And you who are reading this Headhunter’s blog.

I like you as much as nutmeg on egg nog.

The reindeer are ready, the sleigh’s set to lift

Heavily loaded with all kinds of gifts.

But my gifts are all here before Santa takes flight -

So Thanks, Merry Christmas, and to all a Good Night!

(We’re taking a break, but have not a fear.

The Headhunter Files will join you next year!)
