As we approach this Christmas season
It’s time to take time, and reason
That on the table will appear
A feast for all to share.

In the center midst the fowl and fish
You’ll find quite another dish
From our friend the porker who can’t be here
For there’s a ham (not volunteered) .

Given up, (we trust)
With the thought that we must
Enjoy the best the larder can offer
This smoked and salted leg, sans trotter.

Yet there is another, Ivor Hogg comes to mind,
Whose poetry you will find,
Gracing the pages of the Internet
On topics you haven’t discovered yet.

Spreading the word that fact or fiction
Is only the matter of one’s own opinion.
So as you approach this holiday
Read and enjoy what he has to say!

(As you push back from the Christmas table.)
