SURELY THERE SHOULD BE A LAW

 

Surely there should be a law

To punish those who play

Christmas music, two months

Before Thanksgiving Day

GIFTING

 

My mum gave me a gift and the receipt,

Like she did every single year before

Then I could take it back if I didn’t like it,

So actually, what she gets me is a chore

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS # 19

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And all thru the gaff

There were cheap tacky decs

That looked really Naff

BLACK FRIDAY IS AN ODD ACTIVITY

 

Black Friday is an odd activity, dripping with irony,

For people who, from the moment they open the door

Will fight tooth and claw over materialistic things

That the day after celebrating all they were thankful for

THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 12

 

There is knowledge I need to know

And I really need to know it soon

Such as how the pipers can tell

When their bagpipes are out of tune

THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT ANDREW

 

The feast day of Saint Andrew

Is Scotland’s National Day

When the Scottish people

Celebrate Saint Andrew's Day

ARE YOU WEARING A THISTLE?

 

Are you wearing a thistle?

Scotland’s floral emblem

A prickly little symbol

Displayed out of patriotism
