Looby Loo - Christmas 2024

Dear Santa, it’s Looby Loo, I’m still here It’s a miracle, have been ill all year I don’t want you to forget to stop by As this old gal would then break down and cry. I need decent bloomers, mine are in holes And us oldies truly do feel the cold A box of curlers, the soft spongy type As the old un’s wake me up in the night. I’d like a dressing gown, size twenty four I can’t do mine up, it don’t fit no more Some new fluffy slippers to match it too Mine are worn out, so I need them it’s true. I may be old, but I like to look nice Lipstick and face powder would see me right Oh, some perfume too as mine has run dry I wish to smell sweet when passing folk by. Walking isn’t easy for me these days A four wheeled walker would make me feel brave I’d be most grateful if all this I get I’m sure I will, as you are the best yet. Try not to wake me as I needs my sleep I’ll leave you some wine and mince pies to eat Slam the door shut when you leave Santa please I don’t want my presents stolen by thieves. Bless you dear Santa for all that you do Merry Christmas and may the Lord bless you Looby Loo.

This is priceless Beryl, I'm sure Santa will answer Lobby request and perhaps throw in an electric scooter. Merry Christmas to you and your family not to mention Lobby Lol - Hugs Maria

Beryl, you've created a cute and imaginative story. Not too many requests. Just very funny to read and think about. I do like that Looby is leaving Santa something to eat....I was beginning to think she was just selfish, but that changed my mind. She just needs a little attention!

It’s one way getting some attention I suppose, though she’s rather greedy, perhaps she’s needy. Thank you Duke… Beryl

The pains of getting old. Still, there is humour there, too. My Santa bless her and send her some clothes she needs.
