Misdirection
A group composed of family connection
Gathered to exchange acts of affection
Like gifts and glances in all directions
As with each year of my recollection.
Packages were opened for close inspection.
"Oh," said one actress, "nice selection."
All others sensed her coy rejection
She thought was uttered without detection.
I paused a moment to make reflection
This room was filled with greed's infection,
The reason we meet had lost direction.
Only one Gift obtained perfection.
But I let it pass without correction
Hoping the cause finds resurrection.
