A GIFT FOR MARIA

 

A young man called Paul

Wanted to buy a present

For his new sweetheart Maria

As a Christmas present

 

As they’d not been dating

For a very long duration

He decided to purchase

After careful consideration

A nice pair of gloves,

striking the right note

Not too romantic or personal

So the gloves got his vote

 

Accompanied by Maria’s sister

He went to Harrods and bought

A dainty pair of white gloves

“She will like these” he thought

 

Maria’s sister Susan bought

A pair of panties for herself

But during the wrapping

An error was made on the shelf

 

The assistant mixed up

The gloves and the panties

The sister got the gloves

And Maria got the scanties

 

Without checking Paul sealed

The package along with a note

And sent it to his sweetheart

And this is what he wrote


Dear Maria, I chose these

As I noticed my darling

That you don’t wear any

When we go out in the evening.

 

If not for your sister Susan

I would have got long ones

The type with the buttons,

But Susan wears short ones

That are easier to remove.

They are a delicate shade,

But the shop assistant

where the purchase was made

Showed me the pair she has

That she’d been wearing

and were hardly soiled

After three weeks wearing 

I had her try yours on for me

And she looked really chic

Even though they were

Tight on her a little bit.

 

She told me that her pair

Helps to keep her ring

Clean and shiny, and in fact

And this is interesting

Since she’d begun wearing them.

It hadn’t needed washing

 

I really hope you like them

And wish I were there with you

To put them on you Maria

for the first time I really do

 

As no doubt many other hands

Will have touched them

Before I see you again

Remember when you remove them

To blow into them before

Putting them away and drying 

As they will naturally be

A little damp from wearing

 

Just think how many times

My lips will kiss them
during the coming year.

I hope you will wear them

For me on Friday night
All my love Paul till then

 

P.S. The latest style

Which appears to be growing

Is to wear them folded down

With a little fur showing

IF ONLY YOUR LEFT LEG WAS THANKSGIVING

If only your left leg was Thanksgiving

And your right leg was Christmas day

Then I could devote all of my time

To visiting you between the holidays

CHRISTMAS PICKUP # 5

 

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

During the Christmas season

Walk up and say something shocking

“How about I slip down your chimney,

After midnight and fill your stocking”

IS SANTA CLAUS REALLY A WOMAN # 4

 

Is Santa Claus really a woman?

Why are we having this debate?

If Santa was a woman

How would she navigate?

My wife got lost last week

In a car park in Ramsgate

THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS

 

The magic of Christmas

Is the Christmas cheer

What a shame it can’t last

Throughout the year

CHRISTMAS PUDDING

 

Christmas pudding

Boiling in the pot

Rich steamed pudding

Hissing in the pot

Christmas pudding

Singing in the pot

Turn the pudding out

Its steaming hot

IN TRUE DICKENSIAN TRADITION

 

In true Dickensian tradition

Amidst the Christmas mayhem

Even in the thronging malls

There are unforced smiles

And pleasantries exchanged

Between people with

Christmas in their hearts

Warm and heartfelt wishes

Given gladly without hesitation

One stranger to another
