Every parcel is wrapped by Amazon
and my new best friend is now the postman.
My nephew's a pudding in the Nativity Play
and agnostic inlaws kneel and pray.
Festive drinks all stink of cinnamon
spiced sausages and biscuits pose as German.
Joan while drunk had sex with Gordon;
I leave by taxi at a quarter past ten.
The snow starts to thaw before Christmas Day
and I'm thankful for the finish of such disarray.
Hello Alison. Middle couplet is very good. Like Steve I wasn't so impressed by the last couplet.I think you'd improve the rhythm by using Christmas instead of Nativity and wouldn't "Joan had sex, whilst drunk, with Gordon" be more natural?

Very amusing Alison - unfortunately they seemed to have started the Christmas music in Sainsburys but must asmit they seem to have delayed it from mid-November, which iis when it normally starts.
You forgot to mention the stinky brussel sprouts that only appear on the table at Christmas. This made me smile - you paint the upside down nature of it all very well. x
Great first two lines Alison. Can't remember a pudding in the nativity though! Heaven help us all. Merry Christmas. Graham.

Hi Alison, have to say, I enjoyed this just as it is.
