Joseph and the shepherds. Written for the carol service at St John’s, West Ealing in 1989. Of course it is fairly certain that Jesus wasn't born in 0 AD (more likely sometime between 5BC and 2BC), and 0 AD doesn't actually exist as the calendar goes from 1 BC to 1 AD, and these days it's correct to call them 1 BCE and 1 CE, but hey, it's a poem. © Godfrey Rust, godfrey@wordsout.co.uk .
