IF FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS LUNCH

 

If for your Christmas lunch

You have Roast Duck on a platter

You are in for an absolute treat

As it will be a Christmas Quacker

CHRISTMAS SEW

 

It’s a simple fact that

Christmas Tree’s cannot knit or sew

And that’s because they

Always drop their needles you know

THE TURKEY WAS THE PERCUSSIONIST

 

The Turkey was the percussionist.

At the Avian Christmas shindig

He had to be the bands drummer

As he was the one with the drumsticks

SANTA CLAUS GAVE UP SMOKING

 

Santa Claus gave up smoking

Tho his pipe still sits on the shelf

Just as a reminder of the habit

He quit, coz it was bad for his Elf

FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR MANY YEARS

For the first time for many years

Santa Claus had to get the train

So, he chose appropriate footwear

And wore his platforms shoes again 

WHEN I HEARD, HO HO WHOOSH

 

When I heard, Ho Ho Whoosh,

I knew I’d heard the sound before

It happened when Santa Claus

Went through a revolving door

STUCK IN A CHIMNEY

 

If Santa got stuck in a chimney

When delivering on Christmas Eve

He would inevitably suffer

From Claus-trophobia I believe

WHEN SANTA ISN’T WORKING

 

When Santa isn’t working

With a happy ho ho ho

He sometimes walks backwards

So, he can go oh oh oh

SANTA TENDS HIS THREE GARDENS

 

Santa tends his three gardens

With a happy ho ho ho

And he has three gardens

So that he can Hoe Hoe Hoe

SANTA FOUND A LITTLE KITTEN

 

Santa found a little kitten

On a beach in the Azores

Then took it home with him

And called it Sandy Claws

SANTA ALWAYS BRINGS HIS DOG

 

Santa always brings his dog

Whenever he goes carolling

And the dogs favourite Carol

Is Bark the Herald Angels Sing

RUSSIAN ADVENT CALENDAR

 

You can now buy a Russian

Advent calendar

It’s different without a doubt

Because during advent

Whenever you open a window

An oligarch falls out

ITS NOT KISSING UNDER THE MISTLETOE

 

Its not kissing under the mistletoe,

To be perfectly unambiguous

That will lead you to mischief

Its kissing under the influence

SANTA CLAUS IS NOW ON INSTA

 

Santa Claus is now on Insta

And he’s quite active on there

His posts are a bit dull tho

They’re mainly elfies to be fair
