'''A CHRISTMAS POEM'''
It was a month or so before Christmas and all through the land,<br>
Some were boldly taking the stand.<br>
To eliminate the word Christmas seems to be their plot,<br>
Oh, how different from what we were once taught.<br>
Merry Christmas once echoed from sea to sea,<br>
But now inclusiveness is supposed to be the key.<br>
To Muslim and Jew I have no ill will,<br>
But of political correctness I have had my fill.<br>
To say Hanukkah or Ramadan is quite right you see,<br>
But Christmas you don’t hear on TV.<br>
Media ads how they scream out “Hol-a-day”,<br>
But Christmas they dare not say.<br>
Yet the stores how they fill with Christmas decorations galore,<br>
And in doing so miss the message at the core.<br>
Don’t offend others is the cry,<br>
But to Christians this doesn’t apply.<br>
Shove Holiday deep down our throats,<br>
So politicians can get their votes.<br>
To retailers everywhere I say heed the call,<br>
Take back Christmas for one and all,<br>
Tired of being treated as second class,<br>
Christians are urged to revolt en masse.<br>
Politicians and retailers I hope you hear of this view,<br>
For it is time to act on this cue.
