undecipherable whimsical write <br />of kings and angels and darkness and light <br />bamboozled and discombobulated prose <br />concealing its meaning so deep no one knows <br />what it is saying an unbroken code <br />of cryptical phrases written long, long ago <br />prophetic and fantastic in veiled effigies <br />of meteorphorical lamp carrying eastern genies <br />that bring three mystical gifts to Thee in a barn <br />a disguised affirmation of festivities fair? <br />that annual libations make rowdy <br />but oft' full of good cheer <br />the most abstentious and doubting <br />set fire to a pudding, stick sausage meat up <br />that's pigs with herbs, full filling the end of a fowl <br />before we all go down to the pub <br />to display new plumage just opened and viewed <br />epiphany an epicurean and winey delight <br />on the day that brings an end to the night <br />jesting? you might have a doubt <br />when you look at what it's all, all about.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jest-in-time-for-christmas/
