FAMOUS HARVEST POEM BY JB ~ SPOKEN BY A CHURCH MOUSE !
ENJOY *HOW GREAT THOU ART* SUNG IN MAORI ~ AMEN !
CHRISTMAS & EASTER may be Feasts
For Congregations and for Priests
For ME the only Feast at all
Is Autumns Harvest Festival !
Where I can satisfy my want
With Sheaves of Corn around the Font !
But how annoying when one finds
That other MICE with pagan minds
Come into Church MY FOOD to share
Who have no proper business there !
Two FIELD MICE ~ with no desire
To be baptised invade the Choir.
A large & most unfriendly RAT
Pops in to see what we are at
He says he thinks there is no GOD
And yet he comes ~ thats rather ODD ?
And prosperous MICE from far away
Come in to hear the Organ play .......
And under cover of its notes
Eat through the altars sheaf of Oats !
A Low Church MOUSE ~ who thinks that I
Am too Papistical and High
And yet he doesnt think its wrong
To munch through HARVESTS EVENSONG !
While I who starve the whole year through
Must share my FOOD with RODENTS who .......
Except at this time of the year
Not once inside the Church appear !
Within the Human World I know
Such goings-on would not be so
For Human Beings only do
What their Religion tells them to !
And just like me the Good Church MOUSE
Worship each week inside Gods House !
But all the same its strange to me
How very FULL the Church can be .......
With People I dont see at all .......
Except at HARVEST FESTIVAL !
