The Sceptic

Title:     The Sceptic
Author: Robert W. Service [More Titles by Service]

My Father Christmas passed away
When I was barely seven.
At twenty-one, alack-a-day,
I lost my hope of heaven.

Yet not in either lies the curse:
The hell of it's because
I don't know which loss hurt the worse --
My God or Santa Claus.

[The end]
Robert W. Service's poem: Sceptic
