CHARITY PLEADERS # 2

 

Just 3 pounds a month

From me and you

Will help to pay the lease

On their luxury HQ

CHARITY PLEADERS # 1

 

Just 3 pounds a month

Will help them meet their quota

So the fund raisers can drive

Their 30 grand motor

CHARITABLE BEQUESTS REQUESTS # 2

 

Not happy just to pester me in life

The Red Cross want me instead

To change my last will and testament

To take my money when I’m dead

CHARITABLE BEQUEST REQUESTS # 1

 

The Red Cross are getting greedy

Not happy to just milk me in life

They want me to will them a percentage

Of what should go to my wife

A SCANDAL HAS BROKEN

 

A scandal has broken

Of the very worst kind

It’s totally unforgivable

To my way of mind

That fraud Pudsey Bear

Isn’t really blind

VERY RED CROSS

 

I supported the Red Cross

For many Years

But their hard sell tactics

Brought me to tears

 

Not content with

My monthly subscription

They bombarded me with requests

Of every description

 

First, they told of troubles

In foreign lands

I said “I can’t pay more

Than what I had planned”

 

So, they thought a change of tack

Will open my wallet

And told me what they did

In Nether Wallop

 

Emails and letters

Calling with the hard sell

Well, I’ve had enough

They can go to hell

PROBLEM SOLVED

 

The worst two problems

In the world as far, I can see

Is first homelessness and

Then to feed the hungry  

The obvious solution to

These problems is simplicity

All you have to do is

Feed the homeless to the hungry

HOME CHILDREN

 

Well, there was a knock on the door last night

The peace of household was shattered all right

It was bedlam and the kids were having a fight

Disgruntled I got up and switched on the light

 

When I opened the door, I half expected to find

The Jehovah witness’s or something of the kind

The milkman collecting his son running behind

Some kind of salesman with forms to be signed

 

Instead, I found a couple in middle aged I suppose

Rattling a tin collecting for what god knows

Good evening were collecting for Dr Bernados

1 glanced back; good you can take one of those

SAVED

 

The Salvation Army tries to perform

The thankless task of social reform

Treading the weary path to glory

Saving poor girls from Iniquity

 

If they are saving fallen women

I’ve just one thing to say then

When saving girls from Iniquity

Save the red headed one for me

TREE OF LIFE

Proudly standing there
In the town’s main square
The Christmas tree stands tall
Admired by one and all
Decked with coloured lights
Of red and green and blue and white
And every kind of coloured bauble
Short and long, large and small
Candy canes and bows adorn it
And myriad forms of other trinkets
This wonder easily catches the eye
Of every busy passer by
Who simply marvel at the sight
With open mouthed delight
Who before they continue on their way
Have to wipe a tear away
But it’s not the tree reaching to the sky
That brings a tear to the eye
But the parcels of every shape and size
A festive feast for weary eyes
A testament to people’s generosity
Sitting beneath this wondrous tree
Such a generous response to the endeavour
Thank God for those who know the answer
When want and need begs the question
Praise be to those who never forget
With hearts so full of Christmas spirit
