IM JUST A OWL IN A CHRISTMAS TREE ~ A SEASONABLE BALLAD !

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

There was an article in the Newspaper yesterday ~ which just screamed out ~ please make me into a Poem for MPS ! Please title it *IM JUST A OWL IN A CHRISTMAS TREE*  So here it is !  Blessings of the Season to You & Yours ~ Angela & Brian & Smokey πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› 

 

Im just A OWL in a Christmas Tree

An unusual place for ME to be

Im not a ROBIN ~ weavin* & bobbin*

Im just A OWL in a Christmas Tree !

 

Im just A OWL in a Christmas Tree

Ive got big round eyes ~ You cant miss ME

Im from Upstate NEW YORK ~ they included ME

And wrapped ME up ~ with the Christmas Tree !

 

Im just A OWL in a Christmas Tree

When the Tree-feller laid his axe on ME

The tree was destined for the ROCK - FELLER Suite

They discovered ME ~ cos I began to TWEET !

 

Ive been watered & fed in the Wild Life Center

Not stuffed & fluffed ~ on a  Fancy Perch

Im just A OWL in a Christmas Tree

I might have ended up in a NEW YORK CHURCH !

 

Im a *SAW WHIT OWL* a breed quite rare

They didnt expect to find ME there !

Its not very often that you see

A OWL in a MANHATTEN CHRISTMAS TREE !

    A real fun write reminding us it's not far away now but what sort of Christmas will it be,

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      ANGELA HERE ~ Good Sabbath Uncle MIKE ! Christmas is Christmas and despite external constraints it is whatever we choose to make it. Spiritual or Secular ~ CHRIST - MAS or Happy Holiday. Brian & I will of course be celebrating the fact that it about 2020 years since the INCARNAION ~ AMEN. The CHRISMAS STAMPS are Spiritual this year and those we have seen so far have been some interpretations by CLASSIC MASTERS of the Madonna & Child. For us the Global Christmas Stamps & Cards (Spiritual & Secular) are always a Great Blessing ~ AMEN One thing is certain *A Simple VIRUS lke COVID 19 ~ CANT STOP CHRISTMAS !

      Blessings & Prayers to YOU & JEANNE

        ANGELA HERE ~ Good Sabbath Uncle Steve ! When we saw the artcle we boh thought *Thers a Poem in there ~ AMEN* I picked the OWL PICTURE and Brian thought the Englih version of TANNENBAUM would ameliorate it. Everybody seems to like it !

        Blessings to YOU & YOUR Christmas Cur !

        So – If the festive season and it’s symbols, basically pagan, can be incorporated by the religious without trouble, then peace and harmony should ensue, I think. Hope?
        Regards Dave

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          Thanks Dave ~ As Committed Christians - Brian & I do realise that Mistletoe - Evergreen Trees - Feasting & Drinking etc do go back to Bachanalia & Pagan Festivals etc. December 25 was chosen because it was a Holiday not the Date on the *Birth Certicate of JESUS BAR~JOSEPH* The Church has incorporated all these things into the Advent Story even Sinta Claus (St Nicholas) & Rudolph with His Red Nose. All these things appear on the Christmas Cards together with the Holy Family. The UK always wants to have its Cake & Eat it ! So the POST OFFICE (and you cant get more British than that !) Has Secular Christmas Stamps on the ODD YEAR (2019 -"2021 - 2023 etc) and Spiritual on the EVEN YEARS (2018 - 2020 - 2022 etc. Like Boris Johnson - They want to please *All of the Poeple - All of the Time !* This YEAR its *Mary & her Boy Child* by Famous Artists !

          Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
          Love Angela - Brian & Smokey ! ! !

            Good for you A & B:
            I thought that a very comprehensive summary of the dynamics of the festive season - at least from a Christian - Non Believer perspective.
            Also very entertaining in that I now have an insight into the workings of the British Post Office about which hitherto I had no suspicion. Amused is an understatement!
            Take care of yourselves (and especially S the C!)
            Dave
