Read between the lines,
Understand what you see,
Don’t assume it’s all written,
On here for you by me,
Learn to look again,
Perhaps you will see something,
Here that wasn’t there before.
***
There are things in this world,
Hidden from view,
Eight visit each year.
***
Right around Christmas,
Exactly their speed,
Does anyone know.
***
Night is their cover,
Over the world,
Santa calling,
Each of the herd,
During the night.
***
Read between the lines,
Everyone can see,
I have hidden a name,
Not unknown to you,
Did you spot the trick?
Each stanza a word,
Each sentence a letter,
Read again what do you see?
