PEACE ON EARTH

 

“T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even the mouse….”

 

HAH, and again HAH!!

 

I dash around my kitchenette

Followed by my dog,

Putting final touches on

A chocolate Yuletide log.

 

My cat mews for the turkey

Defrosting on the side,

While mince pies cooling on their trays

Send rich smells far and wide.

 

The vegies now must all be peeled

And put to soak this night.

A slurp of sherry might be nice,

I’ll get to bed quite tight!

 

Some presents too must still be wrapped,

Last minute bargains bought

For half the going Christmas price,

Still bloody dear, I thought!

 

So much for peace, and silent night

It’s noisy – that’s the truth.

I don’t care what your name is –

GET THOSE REINDEER OFF MY ROOF!!!
