SEASONAL CHEER…
If for one moment you were in doubt
We’ve news for you: the secret’s out,
The festive season’s now begun,
The headlong rush to get it done.
Each year we say that we won’t do it
But yet again, you know, we blew it
‘Though we’re still only in November
It might as well be mid-December,
For we clearly just cannot resist
The lure of the massive Christmas list:
Presents to buy, the pudding to make,
Deciding on which Christmas cake,
Letters to Santa that must be posted,
Parties planned that must be hosted,
And then of course what type of tree –
Real or fake – which will it be?
Who’ll be there for Christmas dinner?
How in four weeks can we get thinner?
Is it a good time to go on the wagon
While buying champagne by the flagon?
Things to wrap, things to post,
Picking the size of bird to roast.
Which carol service, which Nativity?
Each night one more festivity.
There’s more than a month left to go
The town already has a festive glow,
The streets hung with illuminations,
The start of office celebrations.
Bah Humbug ! frankly just won't work
These are duties you cannot shirk
There’s no point fighting it at all-
So get stuck in – and have a ball!
