Unwanted Gifts

Unwanted Gifts She checked out the biggest gift first Saw what was inside when it burst Two seven foot blokes Telling God-awful jokes But that wasn’t even the worst... A very small piano musician Adopted a seated position My ear-drums are ringing At least he ain’t singing As he starts yet another rendition I think Santa speed-read our list Or maybe some items got missed My good wife, Beatrix Got a big pair of twits And I got an eighteen inch pianist

Perhaps I should have called it un-needed, hmm hmm. This was meant to be for the Christmas limerick contest but I feared it might lower the tone a tad too much. Besides, it had one too many verses.
