I DON’T UNDERSTAND MARKETING

 

I don’t understand marketing at all

When opportunities seem myriad

Like a sanitary products campaign

Specifically, for the Christmas period

I USED MY FIRE STICK TO ORDER A HAMPER

 

I used my Fire Stick to order a hamper

Something much admired by my wife

At the festive time of year that pleases

On arrival I found the box contained

Our infant saviour so I loudly exclaimed

“Bloody hell Alexa I said Baby Cheeses”

SANTA HAS HIS WORKSHOP

 

Santa has his workshop

Up in Lapland

But the Sleeping Reindeer

Go to napland

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 42

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And all thru the City

Peoples were alone for the season

Which was such a pity

The Church was the one place

Where they never felt alone

As they were welcomed

And made to feel at home

THEY FIRST MET ON A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EVE

 

They first met on a special Christmas Eve

And chemistry sparked between the two

When passions fires were truly quenched

He asked before bidding her a fond adieu

“What are you doing on New Year’s Eve?”

She replied “oh I’m definitely doing you”

I DON’T WANT A CHRISTMAS GIFT

 

I don’t want a Christmas gift

That’s very practical

Nor a homemade present

Or something musical

Not an article for wearing

Nothing thoughtful or twee

No items for the garden

Or anything scented fragrantly

And nothing so expensive that

The value is shocking

I just want something shapely

In a Christmas stocking

TOM BAWCOCK'S EVE, (23rd December)

 

Legendary Mousehole resident Tom Bawcock

Went out to fish beneath a storm filled sky

To lift a famine from the village, and to honour him

They hold an annual festival and eat Stargazy pie

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 41

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And all thru the Barn

In fact, not a creature was stirring

At all on the farm

They were bedded down warmly

In the fresh laid hay

And slept in quiet harmony

Until the breaking of the day 

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 432

Little Jack Horner

Sat in the corner,

Eating Christmas pie

As he sat on his bum

He pulled out his thumb,

And poked himself in the eye 

EATING CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

Eating Christmas decorations

Caused something of a crisis

With a sore throat and a fever

Ending with a case of Tinselitis 

A FAMOUS CHRISTMAS STORY

 

A famous Christmas Story

Contains a well-known character

Who died eating Macaroni

He’s the Ghost of Christmas pasta

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 40

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And all thru the Mill

Nothing was stirring

As the great wheel was still

Only the fire in the hearth moved

As it kept away the chill

A BROKEN DRUM IS THE BEST

 

A broken drum is the best

Christmas gift you can get

That might come as a surprise

But you really can’t beat it

WHEN RUDOLPH HAD AN UPSET STOMACH

 

When Rudolph had an upset stomach

It was one of Santa little helpers

Who came to the sick Reindeers rescue

And gave him some Elka-seltzer

IN SANTA’S VILLAGE AT THE NORTH POLE

 

In Santa’s village at the north pole

They watch a lot of Christmas TV

Christmas movies are most popular

Watched on Yule tube obviously

WHEN HE ONLY RECEIVED BATTERIES

 

When he only received batteries

His enthusiasm was muted

But there was a handwritten note

Which read “Toys not included”

SANTA HAS TO WORK HARDER THIS YEAR

 

Santa has to work harder this year

At the North Pole I fear

Since the jackpot of Euromillions

Was one by Santa minions

CHRISTMAS EVE AT THE NORTH POLE

 

Christmas Eve at the North Pole

Under moonlit skies

Creeping around the Village

Are the Mince spies

THERE’S A MEAN FEMALE AT THE POLE

 

There’s a mean female at the Pole

Playing all the reindeer games

“Olive, the other reindeer, used

To laugh and call him names”

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 39

Twas the night before Christmas

And alone in the Croft

The owner banged his head and cussed

As he did all too oft
