Chrstmas Tree

Christmas Tree

Here in Tesco I saw a Christmas tree,
Entwined with bulbs of twinkling glee,
I took a vow no more there shall be,
Hunger, misery and vile penury around me.

When plums and cakes pour in bowls of plenty,
Christmas carols and songs in dainty,
Can we allow the dingy monster of dirty?
to usurp the greenery, a sordid pity,

In the merry England of snow and snow,
There shall be a big no, and only no,
No to wants and needs, you know,
Only God’s plenty, yes! We know.
