Is Christmas Early?

Goldfinch60



What was that!

What is this!

What is this I am listening to?

It is only September,

Early September!

Yet here it is on the radio,

It is so early,

Why is it playing?

Am I lost in time?

Is it December already?

And Christmas Carols

Are with us once more.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Every year BBC Radio 3 runs a Christmas carol competition. A poem is read and listeners are invited to write a carol using those words. It started yesterday and they played last years winner, it is very odd hearing a Christmas Carol on September 5th.

      What about next Easter - where are the eggs?

    • Goldfinch60

      Thanks Orchi. Harvest is nigh, unfortunately the service is being taken by a retired Minister who is not liked by many.

      I'm sure carols must be nice to hear anytime. I know if only one from Disney films I.e tis the season to be jolly and it's really sweet and lovely just like your fine poem. . Cool write. Thumbs up.

          It is crazy how early celebrations start nowadays, we will have to start getting ready for the next millennia celebrations soon!

          Can't wait to ding my dong on high - yes the commerciality (new word) of it all never ceases to amaze but I can manage the odd early hymn or two.

          • Goldfinch60

            Make sure that your dong doesn't slip and end up dining in the snow.

            I like the word commerciality but be careful as Orchi suffers from hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.

              Poor orchi is it known as hibia for short? 🙂 🙂

              Having been a bit of a recluse for ten or more years i'm looking forward to this yuletide period and hope to get out and about and into the christmas spirit of things. With my bus pass i may even be able to have a wee dram here and there.

              • Goldfinch60
