The Today Show

(30 November)

What shall I say

Today

An in-between day

Neither this

Nor that

Not hallmarked

In a certain way

Though some saints’ days

To be sure

x

There are so many saints

Inside the calendar

x

I have looked it up

And Bing cooperated

On the home

Page

That it’s

Saint Andrew’s Day

The apostle

Brother to Peter

Also a fisher

Said to have gone

Apostle-lized in Scotland

Who went for it

In blue and white

And a big

Terrible X

For crucifixion

(now on the British

flag)

x

I’m sure there are lesser

Saints

(so to say)

Who have this day as well

Sometimes the better entryway

For modesty

To faith

x

Maybe we should check

Tomorrow

But God’s blessings on Saint Andrew’s Day

For the saint

And all of us

More earnest

Saints

Or ersatz

Saints

Beloved

For show but

Try-to-be

(and sometimes trying)

Like

Littlest angels
