It's Only Once A Year...
So Christmastime's upon us once again
And all our hearts are filled with love and cheer.
We show goodwill towards our fellow men
But thank the stars it's only once a year.
We push our way through crowds and stand in queues
To find that 'special gift' for one held dear.
And some of us fall prey to 'Christmas blues'
So thank the stars it's only once a year.
We eat, drink and make merry to excess
And overdo things 'til we feel 'quite queer'.
We promise that next Christmas we'll spend less
And thank the stars it's only once a year.
And far above the raucous sounds of fun
God wishes Happy Birthday to His Son.
Yours is better but below is a fav of mine (sadly not my own work ):
ReplyDeleteI made myself a snowball,
As perfect as could be,
I thought I’d keep it as a pet,
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pyjamas,
And a pillow for its head,
Then last night it ran away,
But first - it wet the bed
That's brilliant, McS. I read it somewhere years (or was it centuries?) ago, so thanks for reminding me of it. I honestly think it's a masterpiece. No kidding.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great poem from McScotty. I have never heard it before. Short simple and brilliant. Thumbs up. Sorry yours was very good too.👍
ReplyDeleteYou mean I only get a 'very good' compared to McS's 'great', LH? I feel bereft.
ReplyDeleteOk I will give you a very very good and that's for keeping the paper clean lol
ReplyDeleteBah! Humbug. I want a 'great' or I'm writing to my MP.
ReplyDeleteOk ok yer a gooood weee laddie. I will give you it great.
ReplyDeleteAch, it's not the same when you have to force someone into it. I'll just have to try harder when I'm writing.
