Two hundred miles away,
they offered to pay his taxi fare
for Christmas. Parents.

Enough Already

Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
it’ll drop off.

‘From Mommy to Paul’ –
a Star Wars washing-up bowl.
Christmas, after all.

Will my teddy bear
get a toy from Santa Claus?
He’ll be very good.

A Christmas Song

A little red robin
was chilled in the snow
as Christmas Day dawned
and the East was aglow.

No warm place for him,
no presents from people,
but all day he sang
from his perch on the steeple.

What Jimmy Understood

Little Jimmy’s daddy
lost so much money
betting on a horse
called ‘Knacker’s Yard’

The Season’s Rose

Robin’s found his lyrics;
flexes all his toes.
Sings! This little heart-throb.
Sings! The season’s rose.

Joy of the Season

When Christmas Eve had come at last
and all the bells rang out,
the Salvation Army choir folk
went carolling round about.
