Since it was a few days before <br>Christmas and even our Moslems crew liked something <br>extra. It is difficult to get into the festive mood when it is <br>hot and I had been bitten and kicked, Jesus was born in <br>a barn which is a good place to be a cold winter night as <br>animals exude good warmth. I marvel of the nativities of <br>Joseph, a finer man than me; a person unsung through <br>times. Chicken for Christmas, not pork, in every mess <br>hall there were a coloured trees, since the Islamists do not <br>drink there was peace on earth; I forgave the mule and <br>the bloody, yellow monster of a dog. And silently the old <br>tramper ploughed the sea on her way to Jamaica, where <br>the seaman´s priest would invite us Christians to sing<br>psalms and hand out little presents of socks and gloves <br>knitted by kind ladies back in Norway.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Oskar+Hansen">Oskar Hansen</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=473542" data-title="Christmas At Sea de Oskar Hansen" data-description="Once I was kicked by a mule, as I was remonstrating, a dog interfered and bit my ankle.
