Sir John Betjeman reads his poem "Christmas" (1954)
One for the season, this poem was posted by antPDC and with thanks for the share button. If you go to Youtube there's lots of information and comments for your entertainment or enjoyment there and a visit to Wikipedia for a little background information on a man who would become a future Poet Laureate for the United Kingdom. A great friend of Ireland where he served as Press Attaché at The British Consular Mission, his poem on Thomas Moore is hard to find and not often recited but is worth the search. Endless stories about his time here and a visit to the Betjeman Society web page is a must. Happy Christmas!
