Christmas tomorrow.Mother said,
lie down and sleep,
My sleepy head.
Look, here comes Santa
Happy and merry
Not surprising
After mince pie and sherry.
Christmas stocking
Hanging askew
Now filled with love
And something new
Oranges? Apples?
What a surprise!
You should see the horror
In the little kid’s eyes
Where’s the Nintendo
You promised before
I can’t train my brain
With an apple core!
NB. ditty scribbled in league with the ongoing craze for
the NINTENDO TRAIN YOUR BRAIN game
oh yeah,,,train your brain...seems apt for computer games...how about a book>
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun ditty Valerie, well done!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas m'dear. x
Witty ditty Valerie.
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun this one :) And oh the horror when one finds an orange or an apple instead of the promised toy. Such innocence in this val. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery funny Val... and that's just the
ReplyDeleteway kids are today.
Faaaaaaabulous ditty, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was a kid, asking for a simple polaroid camera was my greatest Christmas gift wish. How times have changed!
Hope you're having a flawless week, dear lady!

Hello Valerie,

My best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful Christmas filled with peace,joy and merriment.
