Mistletoe And Whine
​
My Dad stood on some mistletoe,
whilst walking in bare feet.
He screamed and cursed, and screamed and cursed
some words I can't repeat!
​
​
Misled
​
There wasn't snow last Christmas.
I thought I'd been misled.
I couldn't throw some snowballs,
so threw some sprouts instead.
​
Santa's Socks
​
When Santa's done his work each year,
he wrestles off each shoe.
Last year it caused 3 elves to faint,
as his socks smelt just like poo!
​
If Christmas Was A Spaceship
If Christmas was a lesson
I'd say 'Hip Hip Hooray'!
and tell all of my teachers
to teach it every day.
If Christmas was a vegetable,
I'd eat it up for sure.
I'd tell my Mum and Dad each meal
to give me so much more.
​
If Christmas was my sister,
I'd always treat her right,
and never want to push her,
or tease to start a fight.
​
If Christmas was a spaceship,
I'd always want to go
to visit boring relatives
whose names I never know.
​
If Christmas was forever,
(Which I believe it should)
then I would never misbehave.
and promise to be good!
I Love You Mum
Mum, you are my candlelight,
my angel, and my Silent Night.
More precious than a gift of gold
who wraps me up when I am cold.
Mum, you are my Christmas Day,
my North Star, and my snow bouquet.
You are my joy, my verse, my rhyme,
who I love more each Christmas time.
