Cheery laughter

Smiling faces

Lipstick graces

Glasses

Spoons

And cheeks

 

It has been that time of year again

When we are told to be jolly

Put your life on hold

Let your hair down

Spend large amounts of lolly

Party, party, party

Embrace each and

Every kind of folly

Spend, spend, and spend

Don’t worry if you haven’t

Got it

We can

Lend, lend, lend

 

Wine, beer and brandy

Poured out as a libation

In a strange kind of homage

To who knows, what

No fear of castigation

A mystery no longer spoken

Lost in a plethora

Of shopping, food and drink

Go on have just one more

You can worry about it later

Time for one more

For the road to sink

 

Whose birthday

 Did we celebrate anyway?

I am sure

I should remember

Now let me stop and think....
