SIX FIGURES


I only made six figures last year

I shouldn’t brag but I can’t stop

But only six figures wasn’t enough

So, I was sacked from the workshop

I SPEND MY TIME DREAMING

 

I spend my time dreaming,

Of that one perfect Christmas,

When we were together

Walking the landscape

White the snow was falling

And a large fluffy snowflake

Settled on your nose

And we shared our first kiss

CHRISTMAS IS A SPECIAL TIME FOR LOVE

 

Christmas is a special time

And I want to spend it,

With the woman I love

The most perfect lover

For a perfect Christmas

Who fits me like a glove

ALL GATHERED TOGETHER

 

All gathered together

In one special place,

At this special time

Puts a smile on my face

I STEP THROUGH THE DOOR

 

I step through the door

Adorned with a wreath

In the corner stands a tree,

With presents beneath

A welcoming hearth

Where logs burn vigorously

But the greatest warmth

Comes from my family

THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS IS THE GOAL

The perfect Christmas, is the goal

And love and laughter pay dividends

But perfection can only be achieved

If you’re with your family and friends

I BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS ANGELS

 

I believe in Christmas Angels

And I believe they are always near

Just like they were at Bethlehem

Appearing upon a midnight clear

THE CHRISTMAS ANGELS

The Christmas Angels

Are here to watch over us

To ensure that we all

Have a Merry Christmas 

NORTH POLE HYGENE

 

Here’s something

That will make you wiser

The Claus’s wash their hands

Using Hand Santatizer
