From the HR Doctor, a Holiday Poem

‘Twas the night before Christmas
And throughout County Hall
Not a bureaucrat was stirring
No sounds heard at all
The janitor’s night off, the alarm systems set
The beacons for Security and decorations met
The ambient light kept the stars out of sight
No Bethlehem star could be seen on that night
Those bringing gifts were turned back at the door
No gifts could be given, auditors galore
No risk of polluting the ethics machine
Even frankincense and myrrh would have to be screened
While Christmas and Chanukah meet in December
We seem to forget what we all should remember
Of friendship and family, of futures so bright
Of civil behavior and doing what’s right
The holidays tell us of great lessons learned
A safer and better world to be earned
Give gratitude and joy — the greatest gifts, we believe
It’s better to give than it is to receive
With Love and Best Wishes for a
“Service to Others” Holiday Season…
—Phil Rosenberg, AKA, The HR Doctor
— And from the County News staff
Warm wishes to you, your family and
your county in this season of high hopes and friendship.
