We have just learned

Candles may not be burned

In Santa’s workshop

The practice has to stop

A spokesman claims

That elfin safety is to blame

DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?

 

What would you call a man?

With a big belly and no dress sense

Who never replies to your letters

A man that’s too lazy to shave

And is obsessed with stockings,

Who can only be relied upon for one day a year

Will never stop to ask for directions

A man who only owns one suit

Never gets you the present you asked for

And needs to be rewarded with food and drink

Oh, and always leaves the dirty dishes

Well, what do you think? Could be any man alive eh?

So, what would you call this man?

I would call him Santa

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS

 

When Jack Frost is abroad

And the Thanksgiving snow falls

When we hear the first sleigh bell’s ring

Christmas isn’t far away at all

So, make those lists and join the throng

Of happy shoppers down at the mall

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 174

 

Little Robin Red breast sat upon a tree,

He was joined by his mate, they looked so twee

They sang their little songs quite lustily

Then I threw a shoe at them you see

Because I didn’t get to bed till half past three
