Poem
A visit from an angel Bill Watson was an average man Had a wife and just one kid He always gave top effort At everything he did But, one day, Bill was shaken He was taken by surprise By a visit from the heavens And it was right before his eyes Bill, went out into his backyard And the sky lit up so bright It could only be an angel Come down to him that night He looked, but couldn't make out the shape that came down from the sky He thought what was the reason And he found no reason why That he should get a visit From an angel of the lord His life was not of great importance He was just one of the hoard He believed and read his bible But didn't quite live by the word He went to church each year at Christmas Although his sins could not be cured But, here in his back garden On his knees before the light Bill Wilson confessed his sins to god In the dark, this Christmas night He told the angel of his feelings Of all the sins, of thought and deed And he knelt there before the angel waiting for the penance that he'd need But, nothing broke the silence Only Bill there in the yard He couldn't quite make out the angel though he tried so very hard Then from behind the illumination Came the word he waited for "You've tripped the motion light, you moron" "Now, come in and close the door!"
