I call this - "Poem Inspired by Listening to Radio 4 on December 24th"
Sat beside the Christmas tree
feeling full of love
listening to descriptions
of the star that shone above.
It might have been a comet
two thousand years ago
that lit the sky in Bethlehem
we simply do not know.
It might all be a hokum-pokum
woven from the cold
or maybe 'twas, in truth,
The Greatest Story Ever Told.
It might have been a mishy-mash
of tales heard at sea
But still it gets discussed each year
across the BBC.
And maybe we will never know
perhaps no-one will care
but from that star we get this joy
at Christmastime each year.
And whether you're religious
or just like to have a ball
however you might spend it -
Happy
Christmas one and all.
RC 24-12-24
