Candy Cane Lane
Down On Candy Cane Lane
Several Elves Burst Into Flame
Rudolph Was Sad
But, Santa Was Mad
Knowing Spiked Eggnog Was To Blame.
Santa Put The Drink On A Shelf
Too High Up For Any Elf.
But, The Elves Formed A Plan
And Hired A Man
Who Took And Drank It Himself.

the poor boy that had no Christmas
the poor boy that had no Christmas
a young boy lived in the country
looked forward to Christmas
a special time when a tree was cut
and strings of popcorn were hung
the family had little money
but the boy always received
at least a present or two
from Santa Clause when he
and his reindeers flew by on
Christmas Eve
the young boy’s best fr...

A Christmas blog
Rooftops
Brushing soot off his tunic (new, wipe clean, breathable material) he surveys the rooftops.
He belches, the last lot’s food offerings (whisky, milk and breakfast cereal) playing havoc with his digestive system.
Whistling for the team (trained to perfection by the reindeer whisperer) he prepares for the off.
Straightening, the man of dreams consults his watch

christmas past, 1947
christmas past 1947
when I was young
christmas was special
for a boy in a small home
that could not afford
a big christmas
my brother and I walked
through the woods
looking for an evergreen
to cut for our tree
we finally found one
but it was spindly
few branches flowing from
its skinny trunk
we cut it and dragged
it home through the...

Autopilot
Santa felt sassy and seasoned
Having switched from soda to whiskey
Stirred and slurred, his vision was blurred
Sleigh-driving was stupidly risky
Sloshing around but still seated
Strapped in, seemingly quite self-assured
Whilst swerving through Nice, he saluted the police
Whose chopper was wisely insured
Donna and Blitzen were startled
Dancer and Prancer were ma...

Sod Santa!
And how his eyes glisten'
But… Sod Santa, I say
Not that anyone listens
With high whistles and bells,
The lights and the fog horn
And wet reindeer smells
The noise, the commotion
The hurry, the fuss
The shouting and cursing
As he flies dawn to dusk
of the hooves on my roof
Nor the turds t...

SANTA'S SATNAV
Here's a bit of fun as we approach the Christmas month - some sympathy for all those Mums &
Dads left behind by their technically-savvy kids! All credit to Pete Dymond and Marcie Summers
(who does a great job as "the kids" on the audio).
