Halloween For Christmas

ladies and gentlemen the new lockdown be here
willing you to imbibe your own canned-masked-laughter
gag until christmastime..

so until then listen to cliff richard
the great granny farm messiah
he went to sun city back in the day
he sang about a devil woman
he sang about jesus
he never sang about steve biko..

and lo the wise men followed the blue halloween moon
and they spied a couple in a barn
and the couple were not social distancing from their new infant
and the wise men shook their heads in despair
and they called the police
and the police issued a verbal warning to the couple
and an on-the-spot fine just to drive home the point..

and the wise men were pleased with the police and they did offer the police gifts
masks sanitisers two-metre measuring sticks
and the police said cheers
and little baby jesus said to himself
seriously
why should i even bother..

and on hearing the thoughts of the infant
the lord did look kindly upon jesus and smiled
and whispered to jesus
fair enough..
