Beatles Yesterday song from YouTube

Parody of the Beatles Song - Yesterday

Christmas Day
Pa threw all my new toys away
Now my friends won’t want to come and play
Cos I was naughty yesterday

Suddenly
All the gifts disappeared from ‘neath the tree
Now the carpet’s bare for all to see
Pa snapped at me so suddenly

Why I had to drown our old cat
I cannot say
She fell in the loo so I flushed
the cat awayyyyyyyyyyy

Christmas Day
Pa threw all my new toys away
Santa delivered them on his red sleigh
But when Pa is mad, there’s no leeway

Purely Fictional write inspired by hearing Yesterday on the radio

Jannie Breedt January 5, 2018 at 7:51 AM Hi Jan your humour is similar to Paul McCartneys I sure have fun reading you

Andrea Dietrich November 12, 2017 at 7:38 PM AWesome parody, Jan. Did you know that Xmas parodies were some of my very first poems I wrote long before I ever called myself a poet? Funny! It reminded me of the ones I used to write. Jan Allison November 12, 2017 at 7:40 PM gosh how strange, maybe your influence is rubbing off on me as I am definitely a better poet with your help and encouragement:-) hugs jan xx

Christopher Flaherty November 12, 2017 at 4:44 PM Cracker Jan Just wait till your Pa gets home. Your bottom will wish it was yesterday Jan Allison November 12, 2017 at 4:47 PM ha ha ha thankfully its a fiction poem for me and I hope no one can relate to pa being so cruel to get rid of the toys:-( hugs jan xx

Anne-Lise Andresen November 12, 2017 at 7:48 AM - A pleasure to read, Jan - You always make it fun to read :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Jan Allison November 12, 2017 at 2:55 PM I had fun with the song but it would be sad if a parent did this to a child:-( hugs jan xx

Mick Talbot November 11, 2017 at 2:33 AM Sad.great read though! Inspired this:... Ba humbug! That's what I'd say to a Pa that threw my gifts away. Change the turkey for the cat. I wonder what your Pa would have to say to that? Christmas all about having fun, where was Mum? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (I would ask if this wasn't fiction). Jan Allison November 11, 2017 at 6:34 AM Moi be naughty oh no no no no no lol:-) yes sheer fiction Mick and i don't think Paul McCartney has any worry from my song writing attempts lol:-) hugs jan xx

Paul Callus November 10, 2017 at 11:36 AM What a pity! Two wrongs don't make a right! Lovely choice of song, one of my favs. Hugs // paul Jan Allison November 10, 2017 at 11:46 AM It's probably my favourite Beatles song, i don't think Paul McCartney has any worries with my song writing skills lol:-) hugs jan xx

Tim Smith November 10, 2017 at 11:17 AM Tsk tsk...lol Jan Allison November 10, 2017 at 11:45 AM I hope it's not true for anyone Tim :-( hugs jan xx

Jerry T Curtis November 10, 2017 at 5:50 AM You Have too many sweaters anyway Ha! Parodies are fun to write, I wrote one about two yrs ago for the Ellen show, I think I'll post it Jan Allison November 10, 2017 at 11:43 AM Oh you must post it Jerry I love parodies in general:-) hugs Jan xx

Russell Sivey November 10, 2017 at 4:52 AM Ha! In a way this is sad too, Pa threw away all your new toys, that is sad...especially on Christmas day! But it is a very funny poem my friend, you have surely tickled and maybe even broke my funny bone! What an ingenious and well thought out write, oh it fits in very well with the song Jan...nicely done Great Work!! Jan Allison November 10, 2017 at 11:42 AM I heard the song when we were in the car yesterday and a Christmas advert was played and the idea formed:-) hugs jan x

Arthur Vaso November 9, 2017 at 11:39 PM Love the original song, and as I song your lyrics to it, they fit exactly! Hilarious!!! Jan Allison November 12, 2017 at 2:56 PM At least I don't put song lyrics in poems and make out they are my own original work guys:-( hugs Jan xx Tim Smith November 10, 2017 at 11:18 AM I song your lyrics too Jan Allison November 10, 2017 at 3:38 AM Glad you enjoyed Arthur I had fun trying to fit the words to the original song ;lol:-) hugs Jan xx

John Gondolf November 9, 2017 at 7:36 PM As everyone else, I was singing along in my head. Jan, your muse works in mysterious ways. Thanks for the chuckle this evening.

Gary Smith November 9, 2017 at 5:56 PM This is such a laugh Jan :) Jan Allison November 9, 2017 at 5:58 PM Glad it made you smile Gary... but i don't think the battle of the Christmas number one will be in jeopardy with this lyric:-) hugs Jan xx

Eileen Manassian November 9, 2017 at 5:35 PM YOU are something else. Yes, I did sing it in my head! Good one, dear. :) Hugs Jan Allison November 9, 2017 at 5:44 PM It's a beautiful song Eileen it was playing on the radio and then a Christmas advert followed and this silly song came into my head:-) hugs Jan x

Ilene Bauer November 9, 2017 at 4:51 PM ha! this made me laugh, jan! very well done... Jan Allison November 9, 2017 at 4:58 PM Thanks Ilene I don't think Paul McCartney needs to worry about songwriting talents or lack of them lol :-) I've just read your poem it made me sad:-( hugs jan xx

Kevin Shaw November 9, 2017 at 4:29 PM That's very clever Jan, I was singing along to it. Perhaps Paul McCartney should re-visit it, regards, Kevin xx Jan Allison November 9, 2017 at 4:31 PM LOL Kevin I doubt he would lose any sleep over my song writing skills, seriously Yesterday is one of my very favourite Beatles songs :-) hugs jan xx
