Mistle Fingers

[Dave D Poet Rhumour]

Watch his sturdy Mistle Finger poised
to flick the bell and make some noise
his message would soon be sent to call
the many needy girls and boys who all
deserve a treat as much as our very own
and their chance to become fully grown.

For all the world is equal in the eyes
of true justice unmarred by sinful lies
what need is there for us to buy more
junk that fills the many advert boards
while cousins we have not once met
have needs that we do not expect.

This time of year is said to still
bring hopes for peace and goodwill
not just for the ones within our sight
now is our chance to put this right
by spreading all we have and freely share
with those whose needs we can't compare.

Let his Mistle Finger point the way
for us all to stand as one and say
we wish to make the steps that can
join us all with every fellow man
an act that is so long overdue
please welcome in this point of view.

Nice, the real spirit of Christmas!

Cheers - I always hope to see some evidence of a return to the less commercially imbued values of the season...
Best wishes, Dave
