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 !

Very enjoyable fun write. All those festivals (and the mice) existed long before christianity took them over (bee in my bonnet). After all what do eggs, bunny's and chicks have to do with christian easter?
Regardless of my twaddle, a damn good and enjoyable piece with a healthy jab at our quasi respectable society.
ANGELA HERE (9:30 pm in NZ !) Thanks for your Comment ! JB was very Middle Class & a High Anglican but he had wicked sense of humour ! My CHRISTIAN FRIENDS assure me that EASTER*S all about NEW LIFE & RESSURECTION - Hence Eggs & Bunnies & Chicks etc !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
