NEW FOR CHRISTMAS

There is to be a new sanitary product

That is set to make cash registers ring

A new tampon in the shops by Christmas

That comes complete with a tinsel string

 

The retailers are extremely confident

And believe that sales will be myriad

But they have been at pains to stress

They are only meant for the festive period

WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED - SAFELY

 

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

All seated on the ground,

An inspector from the HSE came down

And he quickly wore a frown

DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW

Dashing through the snow

On a one-horse open sleigh,

Over fields we go

Laughing all the way

Then the reins do snap,

We weren’t expecting that

Now we laugh no more

As we hit a tree so fat

 

Oh, ambulance bells, ambulance bells

Sirens all the way

They dragged us from the wreck

Of a one-horse open sleigh

Oh, ambulance bells, ambulance bells

Sirens all the way

Oh, what fun it’s NOT to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

GIRL POWER

 

All of the reindeer

Pulling Santa’s sleigh

Are adorned with antlers

As they make their way

 

Well, only female reindeer

On the Christmas flight

Still retain their antlers

By Christmas night

 

So, the whole team are girls

Is that really shocking?

An all-female team?

Carrying gifts for every stocking

 

Who else could be trusted?

To circumnavigate the globe

In only one night

Not the guy in the red robe

 

But the overweight old man

With no dress sense

Who is too lazy to shave

Gets thanked for the presents

 

And do we get any recognition

For delivering the toys

No, we don’t get a mention

And everyone thinks that we are boys

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 82

 

Christmas is coming the geese are getting fat

Pick me out the fattest one and we’ll have that

It needs to be a big one for our Christmas feast

In fact just give us the one that’s clinically obese

ARE YOU WEARING GREEN VELVET?

 

Are you wearing green velvet?

That’s really nice to see

And so, fitting for the season

It makes me feel so Christmassy

CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE WORKHOUSE # 1

 

It’s Christmas day in the workhouse

Just another grey day to endure

If we’re lucky we’ll dine on mouse

And Oliver will still be asking for more
