A Quiet Christmas

It’s Christmas day in our house

The kids have been awake since four

Some of the new toys are broken

There’s paper all over the floor

 

Finn I’ve told you once Behave

Give Ealish her dolly back

Cindy and the Action man

Weren’t meant to do things like that

 

The Daddies gone out for a jar

With the lads from down the street

It keeps him out of the way

From under the Mothers feet

 

The Mothers in the kitchen

It’s her battleground for the day

She’s peeled the spuds, carrots and neaps

Now she’s well into the fray

 

The gravy has gone lumpy

She strains it through old tights

The sprouts have been simmering gently

For seven days and nights

 

The dining hour has come and gone

The sprouts have turned too mush

The Mother bewails her feckless man

He really is too much

 

The Mothers drinking sherry

There’s a half bottle drunk so far

She swigs the rest from the bottle

As the Daddy falls from the neighbours car

 

The mothers fighting angry

Armed with a rolling pin

God Help Me she mutters under her breath

For I’m about to sin

 

The Daddy staggers through the door

Trips on the mat and falls to the floor

The rolling pin misses his head by an inch

He lies prostrate, not a muscle does flinch

 

You dirty drunken sot she cries

You’ve ruined Christmas again

She takes a draft from a bottle of Gin

And soundly curses barmen

 

So upon her heel she turns

Takes up a bottle of Port

And kicks the inebriated Daddy

In a place that makes him snort

 

He’ll not forget this Christmas

She chuckles with malice and glee

For his balls will be redder than Rudolphs nose

And bigger than the ones on the tree

 

The Mother’s passed out on the sofa

The Snowman’s on TV again

The Daddies comatose in the hallway

Peace on Earth and good will to all men
