Jan Allison Poet Lyric

No Mistletoe Just Whine - Parody of Mistletoe and Wine

The stores are heaving, hear the tills jing-a-ling
Dilatory Charlie hasn’t purchased a thing
He’s on a mission, buying last minute gift
Better get something good or it’ll cause a rift

But it Christmas time, I hear Charlie whine
Shelves are all empty – didn’t get there on time
Can’t get wifey a present, no gift for the tree
It doesn’t bode well for this family!

Charlie goes to the garage to get her some flowers
The bouquet’s half dead it’s been outside for hours
He heads to the pub where he’ll sup lots of beer
and then stumble home full of dread and fear

Cos its Christmas time, I hear Charlie whine
Shelves are all empty – didn’t get there on time
Dead flowers as a present, no gift for the tree
It doesn’t bode well for this family!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS SOUPERS!

Pat Adams December 25, 2019 at 10:09 AM Good one Jan. I'm realizing more every year that the Christmas cheer seems to consist mostly of relief from the fray and a buzz from the beer!
