LIkkle Fly
Likkle fly upon the wall
Him's got no clothes , no clothes at all
Him's got no likkle shiny shirt
Him's got no likkle pleated skirt
Him's got no mummy to wash him's hair
Him don't care hims bald

JOY TO THE WORLD
Deck the halls in paganism,
Holly, ivy, mistletoe brought indoors,
Greenery, berries, fruits festooned
on walls, doors and fireplaces,
Winter festival has begun.
Jolly, padded bellies,
Red faced old men, children
on well worn laps, spewing hopes
of gifts for the Santa to bestow.
Jaded mum, promising Barbie
to willful Brittney who's been good all year.
Store managers, grinning broadly, profits,
cash in tills, gleeful.
Husbands, searching for elusive gifts
for a sexy wife, nothing but the best will do.
Jostling bodies, screaming kids, all with an ultimate goal.
Christmas morning.
Day dawns amid good wishes, salutations.
All well meant at the time,
Hopes that Granny wont pee in the chair this year,
Keep embarrassing Uncle Frank away from the drinks
at least til after lunch.
Children, drowning in torn wrapping paper, crying,
Forgotten batteries again!
Surviving the day, nerves almost intact,
Food uneaten, chocolate melting near fire's embers'
Mess left for tomorrow.
Tired bodies, steep stairs, weary legs,
Good wishes forgotten, blissful sleep, oblivion.
And the babe? Gods only child? yes, he was there
In cute songs and greeting cards.
