I AM THE UNBEATEN MASTER AT TRIVIAL PURSUIT

 

I am the unbeaten master at Trivial Pursuit

At the annual Christmas family sessions

But then I do have an advantage, because

We play with my original set of questions

BLACK CHRISTMAS

 

Now that the one I love is gone

The season has left me bitter

My heart has lost its soulmate

And Christmas has lost its glitter

REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 26TH OF DECEMBER

 

Remember, Remember the 26th of December

The feast of Stephen is the day

Celebrated in a very special way

In the UK it’s known as Boxing Day
