My Jewish wife every December asks her never Christian husband
please can we have a tree this year?
It seems Jewish children feel excluded from much every Christmas.
I have taken her to some Christmas music and we sing along.
And the Salvationists had a camel in their procession
up the main street one Christmas eve...
Marilyn skipped along beside the brass band.
Melbourne now erects a giant menorah
at the other end of the square from the big tree.
Twenty-five years ago I sat my little girl Jennifer
on Santa's knee, and it was that of Alan Wearne the poet
earning some Christmas-time income.
Our conversation breached his guide-lines as Santa.
