The Family Christmas Dinner
It's Christmas time again
And it seems I am the winner
Because I drew the short straw
To host the Family Christmas Dinner
I'm stressing out already
Although it's still a month away
There's so much to organise
I should have started yesterday
I will cook way too much food
To cater for various dietary ways
But at least there will be leftovers
Crammed in the fridge for days
We will all eat far too much
Then some will need a nana nap
While others will be arguing
About politics and crap
The kids will spill their pudding
On themselves and on the floor
Some sentimental ornament
Will be broken, that's for sure
Grandad will be shouting
Because he's gone completely deaf
And Aunty Prue found wandering
(Honestly, we thought she'd left)
But at the end of the night, exhausted
When the dishes are finally done
I'll remember the day fondly
And look forward to the next one
