Christmas concert

A Decembers church on the edge of Cornwall,
built of Cornish stone
and built by Cornish men. 
To a carol concert,
overcoats a must, 
a cushion - protection against the hard church pews. 

The choir,
replete with ladies of a certain age.
Grey hair,
pearl necklaces 
sparkly black outfits.
Each hold a folder
complete with the running order
and the words of the carols to be sung,
despite being engraved on their hearts.

Many sporting colourful spectacles 
on beaded chains 
to read the words
to sing the carols
to commence the Christmas period...

On my departure,
this non-believer...
thanks the lord for the cushions!
