Christmas Is Coming
By P. D. Pepe
-- With a nod to Norman Williams
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat
Please to put a penny in an old man’s hat,
If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’penny will do,
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, good fortune to you!
This season, after a year of terrible troubles and tribulations,
I’m thinking of all those edged off from commerce and the world
Who work for joy instead of gain.
And I’m thinking of those that sacrifice for others so
those others can survive.
O would that I could gather them this Yuletide
and shower them with coins of gold and love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enjoy your holidays, all you wonderful people, I wish you well!

A little lite reading for your after the feast edification from the UNHR report on poverty in the US. A high point was something called the CHIP program. Pity.
