Christmas Without God Poem by David Keig

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