Red and Green Christmas

entry picture

We wish you a red and green Christmas

 

It was Christmas Eve in the workshop

And the elves were feeling jolly

Their little woollen hats

Were decked with mistletoe and holly.

Their faces alight with smiles

Not a sad thought in their heads

For Santa had agreed that Christmas

Should be green and red.

No blousy buxom Barbies

Or action men with guns

Just lots of fair-trade choc to share

And family games – what fun.

No nasty plastic nonsense

To clutter up the ocean

And every elven heart was full

 Of lovely warm emotions.

Rudolph and his flight crew

Were chowing down on hemp

And Santa’s brand new bamboo suit

Was considered heaven sent.

Only peaceful eco presents

Were going to be delivered

Wooden toys for girls and boys

No dodgy bows or quivers.

Stockings filled with fruit and nuts

And other veggie treats

  All people of the world

Would be dispensed enough to eat.

The elves had struck a deal with God

For an interplanetary ship

To scoop up all the capitalists

On their Christmas list.

So May and Trump and Putin

Are headed for the sun

To become pork scratching

For the evil they have done.

I like instead of merry you use red and green with such a good effect!

Thanks
