From Don & Stan
Christmas ( by a grumpy old man)
Christmas comes but once a year"........
And when it comes it brings no cheer
It's October now so buy your holly
By Christmas you'll be far from jolly
Jingle jingle all the way
The tills in toy shops seem to say
With children's presents costing more
Than my old Ford in fifty four
The kids won't wait until December
On your doorstep in November
With Good Wenceslas - followed by
Spare a quid mate for the guy
The pitter-patter of plastic hoofs
Of inflatable reindeer on neighbours roofs
With five hundred coloured lights or more
Hanging from the eaves next door
Midst fairy lights it's good to see
Chocolate Euros on the Christmas tree
At offices parties Oh! such fun
A photocopy of your bum
Getting drunk in paper hats
Looking like a bunch of - fools
Sending cards with words not meant
To long lost relatives in Gwent
And getting some from who knows who
P'raps we met in eighty two
Shopping mayhem and what is more
Wrapping presents. what a chore
Roll on January - I for one
Will be awfully joyful when it's done
So Happy Christmas! - after all
It was a pagan festival
