Abortive advent calendar
All joy and hope
sucked from a womb,
finds three unwise men
in a manger-like tomb.
No room in the inn
just a slather of waste,
no angelic choir
descending in haste.
A score card of wars
ticked off by dull men,
who dine on cheap whores
just to fuck'em again...
while "meek Mary mild"
is swaddled and bound,
bulldozed with her child
into the holiest ground.
