Its a joyous holiday,
Marking an occasion
That almost certainly did not happen.
Hence, a religious holiday.
Miracles reported, some reenacted,
Recall downtrodden desperate people,
Saved from an unspeakable fate.
And twelve people enjoy a good meal.
It makes good theatre,
A not altogether unimportant
Contribution to our spirit
And our actions.
Our small group,
Members of an ancient tribe,
Mark the ritual as valuable,
If only as a warm friendly gathering
