My Worst Gift

My Worst Gift

My dad’s a lifelong villain
But I’m the one that’s sorry
Cos this year all my presents fell
off the back of a lorry

I didn’t get computer games
Or snazzy hi-tech sneakers
I got a dozen refugees
And six asylum seekers

Thanks Andrea, I was a little concerned that it might be considered political... but it was entirely in jest
