Two of my three meetings today were about… Christmas! Yep, from a church musician’s perspective, it’s right around the corner.
So, all evening I’ve had this nursery rhyme in my head:
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat;
If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’penny will do,
If you haven’t got a ha’penny then God bless you!
I would have shared the song but I couldn’t find a recording with the melody I know and love.
However, while double-checking the lyrics, I discovered that someone has written a version titled, “Christmas Is Coming and We Are Getting Fat!” Pretty funny.
