AT THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS BINGE

Well at the end of the year

Its managements’ biggest fear

That staff should infringe

At the annual Christmas Binge

 

After spiking the fruit punch

In the canteen after lunch

Their totally off their hinge

At the annual Christmas Binge

 

The amount of alcohol downed

As many a sorrow was drowned

Made the accountant whinge

At the annual Christmas Binge

 

The extent of the revelling

Was quite frankly bedevilling

Enough for his beard to singe

At the annual Christmas Binge

 

The things that a little party ho

Did beneath the mistletoe

Would make a puritan cringe

At the annual Christmas Binge

 

Karen from reception bless her

Botox-ed her face with vodka

With a catering syringe

At the annual Christmas Binge

 

The level of fraternization

Was quite a revelation

And caused a few backs to twinge

At the annual Christmas Binge

 

You may well be forgiven

After the events which had arisen

That it was the lunatic fringe

At their annual Christmas Binge

 

Next day when the party was over

Everyone suffered from a hangover

And all took on an earthy tinge

The day after the Christmas binge

ELF PRINCESS

I will be your elf princess

And I will be forever yours

So put on the red suit

And be my Santa Claus

FLAWLESS

You are fat and round

And your trousers are tight

Your nose is quite red

And your beard is white

Now all of the above

Might be considered flaws

But they’re not to me

As you are my Santa Claus 

ARE YOU WEARING A CHRISTMAS TOP?

Are you wearing a Christmas Top?

Well, I very much like what I see

Because there isn’t very much of it

And the contents are bursting free

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – TRUMAN CAPOTE’S ONE CHRISTMAS

 

Based on an autobiographical short story by Truman Capote, this story is about Buddy (T.J. Lowther), an 8-year old boy who leaves Alabama in 1930 to go and live with his father (Henry Winkler) in New Orleans, and has a terrible time while he is there.

His father is a con man trying to raise money for his latest get rich quick scheme and prays on wealthy middle-aged women flattering his way into their cheque books and one of those frustrating his plans is matriarch Cornelia Beaumont (Katharine Hepburn) and as he faces one setback after another there is an uneasy relationship between father and son.

Henry Winkler puts in a fine dramatic performance, as he ranged from loving father to con man, to angry and misunderstood outsider, Katharine Hepburn is a touch of class in her final performance and a brief appearance from Julie Harris is a glimmer of light.

ARE YOU WEARING A CHRISTMAS HAT?

 

Are you wearing a Christmas Hat?

Sitting so perfectly on your head

A gorgeous little tit for tat

White trimmed and crimson red

CHRISTMAS COMPLIMENT

 

As I was basting the bird

A thought, to me occurred

It was only at this time of peace

That Turkey and Greece,

As with hot fat you smother,

Complement each other
