Well I’ve lived through quite a lot of these

And all the Christians get it wrong

Twenty-one December if you please –

Don’t choose Jan One to start your song.

 

It makes good sense you ought to see

The year must finish on the shortest day

As usual the clericals – it seems to me -

get logic wonky in the wildest way.

 

Snow at Christmas in Jerusalem

Holly berries on the Canaan branches?

A star processing by an angel's hand –

Kings in the desert without packed lunches?.

 

So don’t ask religion's help - relax

They'll print the legend, not the facts.
