For me Christmas carols are always best sung by children. Each year I have the annoyance and pleasure of helping with the Christmas play costumes and discipline back stage. Nothing ever goes as planned, but is probably much better. And yes, the Joseph in the second Haiku was my son 20 years ago. That sweet little thing next to him could really pack a wallop.
while shepherds gather
angels sing sweetly off key
one lamb cries for mom
as children sing
Mary and Joseph fight
over baby
disheveled kings march
choir sings “We Three Kings”
shepherds and sheep roam
forgetting missed cues
parents join in "Silent Night"
all are smiles now
all are smiles now
Aw! This is so sweet! LOL!
