21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 13

 

Christmas is coming, the Geese are getting fat

The bird is a little fatty but I don’t mind that

If you haven’t got a Goose then a Turkey will do

If you haven’t got a Turkey, I’m not dining with you

ARE YOU WEARING RED VELVET?

 

Are you wearing red velvet?

That’s really nice to see

And so, fitting for the season

It makes me feel so Christmassy

CHRISTMAS EVE IN THE WORKHOUSE # 1

It’s Christmas Eve in the workhouse,

And not a hint of the seasons in sight

No stockings hang by the fire side

They’ll be no treats in store tonight

WHILE BROKERS WATCHED THEIR STOCK BY NIGHT

 

While brokers watched

Their stock by night

In the heart of London town

The angel of the Lord came down

And turned off the power

And turned off the power

 

While brokers looked

Into their blank monitors

Stop messing she was bade

There’s lots of money to be made

Turn on the bloody power

Turn on the bloody power

 

You seem to be missing

The true meaning of Christmas

The angel calmly explained

In the darkness of the exchange

They did not listen to her

They wanted only power

 

I am not hear for God

I am here at my own bidding

The angel was ranting and raving

You lost my bloody savings

When they told to her the risks

She fried them to a crisp


CHRISTMAS HERALD

 

The Christmas lights are up

The shops play Christmas tunes

The Santa’s are out in force

In their red and white platoons

Christmas goodies are on display

The best selections ever seen

Which sends the message out

That it’s nearly Halloween

THE GIFT GIVER

 

The Christmas trees are trimmed

And all the halls are decked

Santa has made his list

And all the names are checked

The reindeer have been harnessed

The sleigh is loaded high

Santa climbs into his seat

And they’re off into the sky

Santa goes from roof to roof

From city to city and town to town

He finds the chimney pot

Then takes the presents down

And the gift giver goes about his work

So that every girl and boy

Can awake on Christmas morning

And unwrap that wanted toy

MY EVERGREENS

 

Oh, Holly and my Ivy

Of all the girls I’ve known

When they dress in the Santa gear

They really ring my bell
