'Twas two weeks before Christmas,

… and all through the place
Employees were working at such a fast pace.

Holiday goods were piled on the docks with care
In hopes all would be finished — no time to spare.

Office folks were working, all snug at their desks,
While numbers and profits danced like big checks.

The boss in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap
Had just settled our focus to avoid any gaps

When out in the plant, there arose such a clatter;
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.

Away to the plant floor, I flew like a flash,
Tore open the door and made a big dash.
­
Some employees were coughing, looking quite sick
When I knew what I needed was more than St. Nick.

I flew to my cell phone, called Physicians Quality Care
And knew the OCCMed staff soon would be there

More rapid than eagles their mobile clinic came;
OCCMed Director Jennifer called them by name.

Now, Nathan! now, Rebecca! now Aundreia and Ana!
On Whitney! On, Lisa! On, Kelly, Ron and Janna!
On, Genea! On, Angel! On, Rhonda and Janina!

With a wink of their eyes and a nod of their heads
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

They spoke not a word, went straight to patient care,
Checked temps, gave shots, gave medicine — left nothing to spare.

When finished with all, they turned with a jerk,
I knew my employees could finish their work.

OCCMed folks sprang to their truck, gave out a whistle.
The mobile clinic vanished like
the down of a thistle.

But I heard them exclaim,
‘ere they drove out
of sight —

“Happy Christmas to all,
and to all a good night!”
