Unexpected bonus for you...

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.
