This is a Petrachan sonnet with multiple examples of the technique of
enjambment. Except for irregularities in lines 1, 7, and 9, its meter is
iambic pentameter. But one can read and thoroughly enjoy the poem without
being aware of any of these things.

For 30 years I have read this poem at Christmas. I love the irony and it
hits home to my heart, reminding me that fishing a dime for Jesus is
entirely insufficient service required by Him. It is becoming more ironic
every year as the Salvation Army bellringers are being squeezed from
storefronts.
