The Christmas Cracker

Well Tom Smith it’s a cracker Sugar almond twist in a wrapper That little bon’ bon’ you discovered Way back in eighteen forty You painted a pretty picture From your Paris adventure Something to be remembered A Christmas cracker novelty And throwing that log on the fire Only proved your desire You took it one step higher With a simple popping thing You added a mechanism After experimenting And now were all celebrating Your Christmas cracker dream The bon’ bon’ you transformed Is now the Christmas scene That Christmas cracker was born With a whistle a hat and a scream And were sharing them around the table At these wonderful Christmas times Wearing hats and blowing whistles Telling jokes and funny rhymes You created something unique For the whole world to share A Christmas cracker in a wrapper Coloured tissue paper with flare So it’s thanks to you and your trip As we pull these crackers now Remembering when they go pop What you created was a Christmas Wow Have A Wonderful Christmas Everybody Just A Bit of History In The Making Of Christmas © Copyright KC.Leake 27th December 2016 All Rights Reserved
