SHOOTING A PRIZE TURKEY

 

Shooting a prize Turkey, with bullets

Of sage and onion, was his crime

He claimed that he was attempting

To kill it and stuff it at the same time

PETER PAN GOT HIS NAME

 

Peter Pan got his name

Not by design or plan

It was after he got hit

In the peter with a pan

WHILE THE FAMILY SLUMBER

 

Myriad snowflakes fall

Flakes, infinite in number

Crystals of purest white

Settle while we slumber

 

Early the next morning

In the gloomy light

A pure white blanket

Was greeted with delight

 

The kids were excited but

The presents took their focus

For their parents it was magical

To have a White Christmas

THE ROOM WAS FULL OF CHRISTMAS

 

The room was full of Christmas,

Steeped in the essence of the season,

Fragranced with Apple and Cinnamon,

And decorated in festive livery

Fresh cut garlands of evergreens,

Tinsel, candles, and coloured lights

And on the peaceful Holy night

With the velvet drapes pulled shut

Against the bitter cold of winter

A perfect couple held each other

In the soft warm glow of firelight

And the cosy room was full of love

TO MAINTAIN A HIGH FIBRE DIET

 

To maintain a high fibre diet

During the Christmas festivities

We are urged not to eat deserts

And instead eat the Christmas trees

THE THREE WISE MEN WERE LATE TO THE NATIVITY

 

The three wise men were late to the nativity

However not because they had travelled very far

But because one of them was an astronomer

And endlessly wittered on about the bloody star

THERE IS AN OLD SAYING

 

There is an old saying

Which we now tend to disregard

Which goes “a green Christmas

Makes for a fat churchyard”
