SERENDIPITY
Who would be calling me this hour
It wasn't an inappropiate time of day
Just, i wasn't expecting anyone
To call me this Sunday
Hi how are you, i answer
Fine she answers
Just had some plumbing problem
But that's sorted out
Good i answer
So would you be interested
In going to the performance
this evening at Queens Hall
I couldn't believe my ears
Its a show i had wanted to go to
This has to be my Christmas miracle
Yes, yes yes, my voice echoed
I have two tickets she chimed in
I can pay for one, i retorted
Having had lunch
It was just about getting dressed
And waiting for her to pick me up
What a treat
Great singing voices,
I had been enjoying for years
Presenting a local version of
The Nativity story complete with
Enough fun and laughter
What a treat!
