i'm talking world war three blues and how the baubles resemble the planet neptune one kid has trashed the grotto flameless LED tea light candles on the mantlepiece another exclaims, 'can we stop talking and just take the photo?' a girl says she wants a telescope a boy says he wants a crane another says a fraggle stick car helicopter parent and coo coo bonko my daughter doesn't recognise me tears of a clown stuff a kid claims the beard is fake and i say, 'look...', i tell a family from germany we can take a hundred photos, i don't mind, i will get the son that red double-decker bus you're wonderful people they leave the boss pokes his head round the door and says, 'brilliant, boy.'
