A SPACEMAN CAME TRAVELING my dear ladies and occasional gentleman well that’s what I thought on
Sunday evening at our village CHURCH SERVICE 9 LESSONS & CAROLS.

I had been asked to read a lesson, so Morello my daughter and I sat in a pew near the front. As we sat listening to the music waiting for the service to begin, out of the corner of my eye a SPACEMAN walked past and sat down in the pew opposite.

I turned to Morello “there’s a man in a spacesuit over there” I told her.

At the end of the service we retired to the LADYCHAPEL for a cup of TEA and a MINCE PIE. As we waited in the queue I spotted the SPACEMAN.

I couldn’t resist mouth overtook brain, ” I THOUGHT YOU WERE DRESSED AS A SPACEMAN” I jovially told him. He looked down at his WHITE JACKET with its SHINY rectangular patches and his white trousers in a PUZZLED manner as Morello dragged me away still chuckling.

Yours Seasonally
