Long Mince pie Poems

Fizzy Christmas
By Danny Sroda

There is a story which has been untold
Which I cannot any more withhold
It's about a man who you all know
Who lives out in the land of snow
Father Christmas was his name
Until that...

Dear Santa,
As you may well know, 
it's tights and not stockings that are all the go.
So, with no stockings to hang on the bedstead, 
would a pair of my bloomers be OK instead?
I'll sew up...

By Stanley Russell Harris 
 The new mad author

I tried to stay awake all night, the one called Christmas Eve that’s right.

I knew it was coming up to Christmas when Mom started to stress
About the lack of money and if she could get us all a new dress
I knew it was Christmas Eve when we left...

Forget your Greek grammar,
And your algebra, top set,
Brush aside history, economics even if your grades are a sure bet,
And I'll tell you why,
For knowledge money cannot buy,
And that's cake, yes cake.
Whether it's cheese, chocolate or...

I wrote to Prof Arab
And I asked Dr Jew
I spoke with Mrs Christian
And typed to ChatGPT too

One of them said it was spiritual
The other, it was not real
Another said academic fiction 
The last, it was...

Pleasant pondering never be realized,
the pie in the sky for now satisfied.
The biggest slice in need of pursuit,
the cherry on top as attitude.
Succulent projections by layers detailed,
downtown look at the sky retailed.
Others already with their...

What's up with Santa


Chimneys not swept Santa isn't happy
He is sick of the soot making him snappy

Families have lost the one thing that gives a room soul
A roaring fire of wood or coal

Toasting your toes...

It's the 3rd of the month
An excellently important day
5 decades or so ago,
My parents made a little 'roll in the hay'

Tonight, I'm spoiling myself
Going out for dinner el solo
Down to my favourite local Bistro
For Salmon...

Another Christmas Day will soon be here again,
It used to be my favorite time of year.
Now it's not as much fun 
Celebrating for one,
When the one I'd like to share it with's not here.

I sent...

Who Is That On My Roof?

Oh.. Hello Rudolph - How are you
Fine thanks Damo - How about you?

I am good thanks Rudolph - But is it true
That Santa is stuck in my flue?

Sorry to say...

Dear Sarah and Samantha, 


It’s been a while I know * since I happened by your house in the Christmas snow.

I used to drop off presents on wintry Christmas Eve, * scoff a sherry and...

It isn't looking to me at all like Christmas,
There's been no ice, nor sleet, nor snow.
I've heard no jingle bells in the air,
Or caroling on the square,
Or seen anyone anywhere
All bundled up like an Eskimo.

And...

Hark, listen to the church bells ring
In welcome to our newborn King 
Sing in praise for the Holy babe
It was for us our Saviour came.

As never before - kneel and pray
For peace on earth this...

Spare a thought at Christmas,
For all our service personnel,
As we're having fun,
They could be going through hell.
Maybe they're in nursing,
Looking after those we hold dear,
Instead of being with theirs,
Enjoying the Christmas Cheer.
Perhaps they're posted overseas,
In...

not just any food

A hush descended as we crept down the stairs
We wondered if Santa had visited
Cautiously we opened the living room door
Santa’s glass of sherry had been drunk,
his mince pie had a bite from it,
Rudolph’s carrot has...

Take a moment, if you will
  to ponder the situation of government at will.
Representatives of the people they claim
 yet, individual indiscretions gain greater fame.
Racist ramblings dress a deep inner rage
 rise to the...

  I'm teetering on the edge of a cliff 
 The scales are swaying uncontrollably

 Hang on, that's Grandma at the door with some...

there once was a mega star on the horizon

demoted to a comet in malevolent derision

an immaculate sky line put to a bloody sword

cross bones of anger no respect for the Lord

a boy is sliding down a hill on a shiny new sledge
As a fat man in a red and white suit falls down the chimney
