21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 308

 

Mary had a little van

She also had a mini

I never saw her little van

But I have seen her mini

ARE YOU WEARING A CHRISTMAS WAISTCOAT?

 

Are you wearing a Christmas Waistcoat?

Oh yes, it’s a real crowd pleaser

But waistcoats are all rather Dickensian

It makes you look like Ebenezer

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 15

 

Twas the night before Christmas and thru the bungalow

Not a creature was stirring in the fireside glow

They’d all been evacuated because of the flood

And the living room floor was all covered in mud

THE CHRISTMAS PUDDING

 

The pudding is in the basin

The cloth is tied in a knot

We put it in the boiling water

And hear it hissing in the pot

IT’S CHRISTMAS BY GOLLY

 

It’s Christmas by golly

Let’s hang up the holly

It’s Christmas by golly

Let’s spend all our lolly

It’s Christmas by golly

It’s the time to be jolly

THE OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY

 

All year long I fancied Lucy

But she turned out to be fickle

So I thought I’d drown my sorrows

And have a few festive tipples

But I ended up in a cupboard

With a girl with hairy nipples

CANDLELIGHT

 

Across the distant lonely miles

There stands my love

With comrade’s brave

Who stands beneath a Christmas sky

Singing carols just as I

Familiar carols

And sentiments we share.

Of course, it’s Christmas,

That makes me wish you near

And makes me wipe away a tear

I pray to God to keep you safe

To wrap you in his loving light

Now the bells of Christmas fill the air

And I think of my love standing there

Underneath the Christmas sky.

In the church I keep a candle lit

That will burn while we’re apart

And my undying love for him

Will keep burning in my heart
