CHRISTMAS

[verseode]

            

         Here we are awaiting Christmas
         Storing up our gifts and food
         Spending lots of lovely money
         Don't forget, we must include
         Auntie Betty, Uncle Norman
         Cards for all the chaps at work
         Daren't miss out a single person
         Mustn't be found out a jerk.

         Whilst were stuffing all the turkey
         Christmas pud helped down with wine
         Slumping down in front of tele
         Snoring through the pantomime
         This is usual for the masses
         Greed and gluttony abound
         Whilst, outside, the homeless passes
         Searching pavements for a pound.

         Jesus Christ was born at Christmas
         Sent to earth to save us all
         Lived to serve all those around Him
         Always perfect, standing tall
         Helped the leper, healed the cripple
         Underdog and down and out
         Suffered greatly for His mercy
         Hated by the men with clout.

         So we must be all like Jesus
         Following His every way
         Showing love to all who need it
         Living in His humble way
         For He loves a cheerful giver
         One who relegates himself
         To the role of peoples servant
         That is how we earn our wealth.
