THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS

 

To some people

They can cause distress

But there is a sentiment

I‘d like to express

Sprouts are for life

Not just for Christmas

I DON’T LIKE THE SHORTENED FORM

 

I don’t like the shortened form

Of Christmas, it’s not quaint

I dislike it because Xmas sounds

Like some kind of skin complaint

WHEN CHRISTMAS DAY WAS OVER # 1

 

When Christmas Day was over

Mrs Claus needed a release

It was a very stressful time

Spreading good will and peace

So as soon as Santa was rested

She always liked to have a bit

And more often than not

They’d go and do it in the sleigh

DON’T LOOK BACKWARDS, MERELY

 

Don’t look backwards, merely

Half-heartedly and insincerely

Remember those Christmas’s clearly

And remember the people dearly

WHEN YOU ARE IN A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP

When you are in a long-term relationship

On Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries

Your normally rational other halves

Turn into fire breathing adversaries

And those once happy and joyous occasions

Become life and death quests to test us

To see if we can find the perfect present

And that goes double for Christmas  

DOWN AT THE SHOPPING MALL

 

Down at the shopping mall

There’s a lot of bustle and fuss

As the registers ring its beginning

To cost a lot like Christmas

THEY SAY THAT IT’S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS

 

They say that it’s the thought that counts

Rather than the size of the gift

But if you decided to give everyone your

Opinion in lieu they might be miffed
