ARE YOU WEARING CHRISTMAS SPATS?

 

Are you wearing Christmas spats?

Well I don’t like them much

But I have to admit that the motif

Of holly is a very nice touch

I TOOK THE GRANDCHILDREN TO THE THEATRE

 

I took the grandchildren to the theatre

To watch the new pantomime Aladdin

I knew it wasn’t going to be very good

As they refunded my money on the way in

When a gingerbread man lays

On his bed Perchance to sleep

He does so every single night

Laying down on a cookie sheet
