The jaded calendar revolves, / Its nuts need oil, carbon chokes the valves, / The excess sugar of a diabetic culture / Rotting the nerve of life and literature; / Therefore when we bring out the old tinsel and frills / To announce that Christ is born among the barbarous hills / I turn to you whom a morose routine / Saves from the mad vertigo of being what has been.|c
