Lucky the trees don't have axes and kill humans for Christmas

______________________________________

Good thing that none of those firs or pines have axes

and go hunting humans around Christmas, eh?

Imagine grandad all done up with popcorn

or grandma with an angel on her hairdo

Think about somebody you love dead and propped up

with tinsel, lights, bulbs and other glittering googaws

Don't think Jesus wanted anybody to kill trees

or build gaudy buildings to celebrate his birth

But what the heck, make beliefs work

and give worried sheep respite from the horrible unknown

So if you must, go ahead

and kill a tree for Jesus.
