‘Alone on Christmas Day?’
Speaks of Christ and Brussels sprouts;
Cristes Maesse the Army way.
Oh, I love the High Church carols,
Chanted liturgies and all,
But if Doctrine Number Four holds fast,
Jesus loves the Army hall
Where spuds are mashed or roasted
(Our Salvationist Eucharist?)
And lonely folk are wanted –
Those ‘society’ has
missed.
Who knows where Jesus lingers?
Matthew’s Gospel
seems to say
(Matthew 25, Verse 40)
He’s alone on Christmas Day.
So, Captain Ralph, your posters
And the invitations shared,
Are a type of Holy Scripture
Telling someone someone cared.
