Leftovers

Leftovers Don’t let Christmas come in too much of a hurry I really can’t handle one more turkey curry The kids now want something else for their teas So it’s six pigs in blankets and biscuits for cheese Faced with leftovers for the rest of the hols Anyone want anymore sausage rolls A nice new year snack? The family concur I get out the turkey... its covered in fur So now that I’ve chucked out them old turkey loins We’ll finish the pudding that mum filled with coins The dentist is open next week, God willing To sort out the molar I broke on a shilling There’s thirty one days in every December So why is it no-one can ever remember The night that for good luck we don’t want to miss Can anyone tell me when twelfth night is So the tree’s folded up and it’s back in the loft The best China’s packed up in something that’s soft The Holly’s chucked out which seemed a bit drastic When you consider that most it’s plastic Granddad’s still sat in his gold paper hat I ask why on Earth are you still wearing that He says he don’t like to remove it too soon Perhaps I should tell him it’s half way through June
