Now lookie here, says Fido
Writing some lines today
It\'s not Xmas - it\'s Christmas
Say it 10 million times or more this month, December
And you won\'t incur Goldfinch\'s wrath!
But some write \'Merry Xmas\'
It might be that they still believe
The true meaning of Christmas
But \'Christmas\' is quite a long word
And could take up a lot of ink
If ya got about 6,843 cards to write
And folk say \'Oh, it saves me 2 seconds per card
To write \'Xmas\' instead of \'Christmas\' every time\'
Woof! A couple of conundrums from Fido
If Jesus was born in 1 AD
How did they work out all the years \'BC\'?
But how, as some say, was He born in 4BC?!
And was it December 25?
It may have been, Oh I dunno, random...
May 23; August 6; November 13
Take your pick maybe!
And what about these months?
September - 7th month (it\'s our 9th month)
October - - 8th month (it\'s our 10th month)
November - 9th Month (it\'s our 11th month)
December - 10th Month (it\'s our 12th month)
Did they leave out two months?
If so, which two?
Goldfinch and I should know these things really
As we\'re both millions of years old
Though Fido knows 99% of everything
He is asking you about some of the 1% things
That he don\' know!
