In our office we gathered for the gala affair And hoped that everyone soon would be there. , • Our operators were nestled all snug in a row, Each trying to think of a wish apropos For all of the people w ere privileged to serve; Something happy and hearty, with plenty of verve. Then out on the street there arose such a sound You doubtless could hear it for miles around. Away to the doors and the windows we sprang To witness the arrival of the motor pool gang. , Parking their vehicles quick as a wink. They came into the office to help us all think O f a holiday greeting that somehow would say It’s a pleasure to serve you day after day. And then, without warning, we heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of a sizeable hoof. It was followed by others, so lively and quick. We thought for a moment, it might be Saint Nick! Just then from the rooftop, our visitors descended And we all cheered when we saw the mystery had ended. “Our linemen, of course," one and all did recite. (Who else would be climbing around at that height?) Soon all of our people had gathered inside To think of a wish for this year’s Yuletide. From the building’s front door to the end of each hall There were the men who repair and those who install, Plus dispatcher, plant manager, and service advisors, Bookkeepers, secretaries and even some splicers. While all of our operators, amid the ado Could be heard greeting each caller with “May We Help You?" Then all of a sudden, from deep in the crowd Someone thought of a greeting and cried it aloud. It was a wish so warm and cheery, that letter for letter Santa himself could have thought of none better. And by giving a nod, each of us agreed That this was the wish we needed, indeed. So to let you know, in our own West Coast way. Our good wishes are with you on this Christmas day You can hear us exclaim, with warmth and good cheer: "Merry Christmas to All, and to AU a Good Year."
