The Horses Mouth

   
There is a smell about the place  
 once a year and only on this Day  
potatoes, sprouts and carrots  
parsnips roasted brown and sweet,  
washed down with more than's good    
to celebrate a birth we've heard of  
on our mothers' knee.  
   
Should it not be true . . .  
have we been deceived?  
if so there is a loss for all.  
I have read the Book as you,  
not sure the tale is as it seems,. 
read no further than the words  
listened to the sermons.  
The horse's mouth has many teeth  
count them at your peril.
