Ode to the Season(borrowed)

Twas the month before Christmas



When all through our land,



Not a Christian was praying



Nor taking a stand.



Why the PC Police had taken away



The reason for Christmas - no one could say.



The children were told by their schools not to sing



About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.



It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say



December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.



Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit



Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!



CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod



Something was changing, something quite odd!



Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa



In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.



As Targets were hanging their trees upside down



At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.



At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears



You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.



Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty



Are words that were used to intimidate me.



Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen



On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !



At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter



To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.



And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith



Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace



The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded



The reason for the season, stopped before it started.



So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'



Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.



Choose your words carefully, choose what you say



Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS,



not Happy Holiday !



Please, all Christians join together and



wish everyone you meet



MERRY CHRISTMAS



Christ is The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!
