(A Christmas Carol by William Topaz McGonagall.) **Truly a beautiful hymn to His honor.
would have been wonderful to flit from place to place, to hear this poetic hymn sung, with joy passion belief, in the time period when it was sung with joy 'The way to respect Christmas time Is not by drinking whisky or wine, But to sing praises to God on Christmas morn, The time that Jesus Christ His Son was born; ' but not sure if I should forsake the wine of Christ's first miracle on Christmas day although perhaps a better cheer is in the beer :)
I liked it until it turned into a diatribe against drinking- rather hard to get wrapped up in joy when someone is on his soap box
Lovely Christmas Carol with a great message for the entire mankind. The way to respect Christmas time Is not by drinking whisky or wine, And let the rich be kind to the poor, And think of the hardships they do endure, But to sing praises to God on Christmas morn,
It's terrible from Britain's worst poet!
