INSULTED SANTA

 

The local shopping Mall Santa

Turned out to be a very grumpy chap

When a little girl put a bin bag down

Just before she sat on his lap

RISQUÉ OR RUDE

 

If you do something at Christmas

That’s either risqué or rude

Then don’t be at all surprised

If it ends up on Yule Tube

CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE

 

“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire”

That’s Christmas day with Stephen

But I only have myself to blame

For marrying a sodding vegan

ICE THAT WILL BEAR THE WEIGHT OF SANTA

 

Ice that will, before Christmas,

Bear the weight of Santa

Will not, according to folklore,

Bear the weight of an Elf after

 

THERE IS AN OLD SAYING

 

There is an old saying

Which we now tend to disregard

Which goes “a green Christmas

Makes for a fat churchyard”
