Dispatches for the
Colonial Office
Epiphany Moved and
Improved –
The Magi Must
Re-Schedule Their Arrival Time
Whatever committee decides these things
Has chosen to shift ancient feasts about
For the convenience of the modern world
In scheduling meetings and interviews
Magi following a smart watch in the sky
The ostler wants the stable cleared by ten
King Herod tapping massacres on an app
Plough Monday must be reset to Tuesday next
Whatever committee decides these things
Is stricken deaf when the sacring bell rings
