Mrs Jones

Mrs jones next door is a lovely ol gal She checks the house when we're not home She treats my kids like her best pals I have twins theyre six years old Little tearaways always into mischief As Mrs Jones watches them with a smile Crimbo on the way I tell them bout Santas list Behave or no prezzie pile I asked them to pick some toys They named a couple of things Crimbo morning, up early with joy Before opening Their prezzies the twins Turned to me and simultaneously said Thanks Santa for my prezzies galore But we want Mrs Jones to join us instead So they went and knocked the door Returning with Mrs Jones a happy little bunch She never witnessed anything so generous We set an extra place at the table for lunch And Mrs Jones spent the day with us The twins said the best Crimbo is here With a deap breath I tried not to blush But it really brought a tear The perfect Crimbo bunch So think of your neighbour at Crimbo To some a nice prezzie is company thats all You see its just that simple A selfless act that never gets old xxxxx
