God had a plan for Christmas <br />A plan that could not fail <br />Rather then indulgences <br />He went straight into retail <br />Positioned presents as a blessing <br />And to keep the whole thing green <br />Decided that we all should have <br />Those jolly Christmas trees <br />When he phoned Sears and K Mart <br />On his celestial phone <br />The response was overwhelming <br />And they changed their budgets when <br />He had explained the concept <br />To these quite commercial men <br />Lord Jesus said the salesmen <br />Who then took back their words <br />This concept is amazing <br />How do we start <br />And when? <br />Ahah said God quite gently <br />Its not that easy mate <br />The condition of your entry <br />Is that you should celebrate <br />The goodness thats amongst us <br />And not just profits seek <br />For while valued is the businessman <br />The world belongs unto the meek <br />At this point there was silence <br />I think a pin was dropped <br />So the businessmen decided <br />On a Christmas without God.<br /><br />David Keig<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-christmas-without-god/
