Thoughts I have of Xmas

I hope you're sitting comfortably

Resting in your favourite chair

These are thoughts I have of xmas

Which I'd really like to share

The advent calendar full of chocolate

The xmas season just begun

But by the middle of December

You've eaten every one !

It's the thought, we're told, that counts

All wrapped up in a fancy box

I opened mine on Xmas day

It's panta and socks with spots !

Postage stamps cost far too much

So cards you do not send

But set aside a few incase

You get one from a friend

Who's turn is it to host this year ?

Your house or is it theirs ?

Will the table be big enough

Do you have that many chairs ?

Get the decorations from the loft

Which boxes are they in ?

Spend the day untangling them

Then throw most into the bin

A real tree, now that makes a change

Get a bargain down the market

But by the time the day arrives

Half of it is on the carpet ?

Last minute shopping, what have you forgot ?

What else have you to do ?

You head off to the supermarket

All of town is in the queue

The day arrives, the table set

You've remembered everything

Gaze apon your finnished table

It's a feast fit for a king

Talking of which, it's 3pm

Let's listen to the royal word

No longer a message from Elizabeth two

But Charles and he's the third

You sit and watch the same repeats

Paper hat still on your head

Altogether it's been good fun

And now it's time for bed
