HUMBUG

Me, December 1^st, Annually.

Don’t bother with the Christmas tree

And decking out the hall

Don’t start singing jingle songs

Humbug to it all!

Let’s scrap giving presents

It’s over-rated  trash

In this economic climate

You must be careful with your cash

I just want to stay at home

Unsociable and glum

Buy your own selection box

Cos I’m a  mardy bum.

Me December 22^nd, Annually

I’ve got mistletoe and holly

I’ve got a  glass of wine

I’ve wrapped up all the presents

I think we will be fine

The tree is up, the lights are on

I’m ready now at last

I always feel much better

With the winter solstice passed.

Put some Christmas music on

And watch yer grandad dance

He’ll get you under that mistletoe

If he gets half a chance

Have another chocolate

Get the family in

Have a Merry Christmas

Let festivities begin.
