A Christmas Story (another one)

It was the night before Christmas and not a sound could be heard The cook in the kitchen still stuffing the bird. Some members are sleeping, others drinking grog When all of a sudden came a bark from the dog. Saint Nick had arrived on his Millenium sleigh With masses of presents he quite made my day. His diet's not worked, I can see at a glance That if he comes down the chimney he's taking a chance. He visited this board and put presents round the tree Something for you and LOTS for ME. He had his mince pie and his whisky too but that was the last straw and he got stuck on the flue. "Oh what a disaster" he began to shout "Children are waiting and I cannot get out" It was then that I saw the solution was clear "Light a fire" I said" that will soon free the dear" We live a big fire it was like November five and dear Saint Nick he started to jive You're burning my whiskers as well as my boots But the members of GR didn't give two hoots. You have left us our presents for which we applaud but you are on your own now mate we've become really bored. You've stuffed yourself stupid in 2004 So you really should have used the door. With a terrible moan he began to shake and the soot fell down that he'd left in his wake. You have burnt and insulted me and you don't give a jot but I'll have my revenge on you horrible lot If you think I am beaten then I'll make myself clear There will be nothing for you lot at Christmas next year. With a final push he was on the roof We could hear the stamping of a reindeer's hoof. Then he called down the chimney, I really must go Merry Christmas to you all and a HO HO HO The moral of this story is a remedy of old Just don't have another one for the road. This was written as a bit of a laugh. No insult is intended to anyone. If any member should take offence then I apologise and will immediately delete this thread. Pat

Sorry it is jumbled up I did type it in verse form but I'm obviously useless. Oh these senior moments are all too often now it seems. Dawn's is beautifully arranged. Pat

Glad you all liked it. Mary as you will see by my post script I think I got a bit paronoid about joining anything. We seem to offend so easily now and it wasn't always like that. Different views made the board so interesting with no offence and no malice. There are some great people (and funny) here that give you a laugh and uplift you. Long may you all stay. Pat
