Summary: Like R-Poet, I just discovered that my limerick was read out on Christmas morning, Radio 4. Someone asked me this morning if it was me, and I didn't know!

I was sitting there, watching my sheep,
trying hard just to drop off to sleep,
when a voice from the sky
told me "Never mind why,
go to Bethlehem, get in the jeep!"

Wonderful! Love the build-up to the jazzy modernity at the end, and the sheer humanity of the piece is great too!
