Twas The Day

After Christmas. Twas the day after Christmas and all through the house, Every creature was hurtin`,even the mouse. The toys were broken,their batteries dead, Santa passed out,with ice on his head. Wrapping and ribbons just covered the floor, While upstairs,the family continue to snore. And I in my t-shirt,new Reeboks and jeans, Go into the kitchen,and start to clean. When out on the lawn,there arose such a clatter, I sprung from the sink,to see what`s the matter. Away from the window I flew like a flash Tore open the curtains,and threw up the sash. When what to my wondering eyes should appear ? But a man on a bike,with a bag front and rear. The guy he was smiling, still eating his toast, The patch on his jacket said "GB Post" With a handful of bills,he grinned like a fox, Then swiftly stuffed them into our box, Bill after bill, and still they came, Whistling and shouting,he called them by name. Now Asda,now Tesco, now Telecom, clear, Here`s Debenhams, Curry`s and Wilkinsons. Oh Dear ! To the tip of your limit,every stall every mall, Now charge away,charge away all. He whooped and he whistled as he finished his work, He filled up the box,and then with a jerk He sprang on his bike, and was off down the road. Riding much faster,with just half a load. Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer, "ENJOY WHAT YOU GOT, YOU`LL BE PAYING ALL YEAR". Merry Christmas everyone, Baz. xxx
