CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE WORKHOUSE # 3

 

It’s Christmas day in the workhouse

Just another grey day to endure

We have been promised nouvelle cuisine

So, Oliver will be asking for more

TIED UP WITH TINSEL

 

Have a little yuletide fun

Make it deliciously sinful

With your little Christmas hon

Tied up with tinsel

I’M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS # 2

 

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,

Just like the ones I used to know

But to be honest I drink so much

I won’t even notice if it snows

ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT

 

I have no need of Christmas

I have no need of memories

I have no desire to make plans

To join in with the festivities

 

Don’t wish me merry Christmas

I have no need of Christmas cheer

For me it won’t be Christmas

Until my darling wife is here

 

So, save your merry Christmas

Don’t send your jollity my way

Keep the Christmas fizz on ice

Until she’s home on Christmas day

 

This is for all those whose loved ones have to work on Christmas day.

OH YES HE IS

 

On stage at the Victoria

The lad playing Aladdin

Was attacked from behind

But the audience tried to warn him

FORCED ENTRY

I came home today to a horrible sight

All the doors and windows were smashed in

And inside, everything was gone

They had taken absolutely everything

I felt so violated so degraded

How could something like this occur?

What sort of sick person does that?

To someone's Advent calendar
