thanks Dave.
It's the Day before the Races at Tangmalangmaloo.
Before Christ's birth, the world was B.C.
and after his birth, the world is A.D.
Before Christmas Day, it was parties and shopping,
carols by candlelight, mangers and angels.
Peace and goodwill was the theme
of the weeks and some sang
of redemptive grace,
from October until late December.
The day after Christmas
there's post-christmas sales
yacht races and cricket test matches.
John O'Brien was right, Christmas Day is the day
to make way for more useful things.
It's time to prepare for New Year;
forget about Christ till ...whenever.
( yeah I know didn't quite get the rhyming right )
