Rudolph has noticed his belly wobbling
and so have the rest of the crew
They have noticed him hastily gobbling
extra portions of Santa's special stew.

It takes him ages to get into flight
the rest of the team have to cope though
Which is difficult especially in the dead of night
when poor Rudolph cant see which way to go.

His belly is flapping this way and that
the reindeer behind him are starting to  giggle
They dont want to hurt him and say that he is fat
But everything Ruolph's got has started to wriggle.

Dasher and Dancer have been on the mince pies
and Prancer has been sipping the sherry
Which is hilarious when he flies
a reindeer is all over the place when he's merry.

Santa calls for them to fly in a straight line
But each reindeer cant keep a straight face
each of them has been knocking back the wine
not by the bottle I might add, by the case!

Each reindeer has now started to feel sick
Santa is now suspicious and thinks it is weird
for now he has started to discreetly pick
the tiny bits of carrots out of his beard.

They pull over and Santa is now not amused
he too feels hung over and has had enough
Rudolph chest feels as though it is bruised
from eating and drinking all that stuff.

Happy - I know that I will be
Disappointed - of course I am
When I get my wings I'll be free
to get me out of any pickle or jam.
Surprised - you can bet I was
Shocked - I know what I'm like
I can't just hop on a bus
or peddle like mad on a bike.
Content - I was at ease
Pleased - when an angel came
The joy brought me to my knees
Without my wings wouldn't be the same

Stack your purse with loads of money
tra-la-la la-la -la-la you will need it believe me
You are going into the land of milk and honey
where things are expensive and not so free.
The shopping thing is a never ending list
items just tag on the end day after each day
oh look another bargain not be missed
just dig deep in your pocket when it's time to pay
The sales are on and were they ever off
I think the word "sale" just entices you in
The prices just make the mouth froth
you lost out and the shop stands to win.
Standing in the endless queue
Tempers flaring and you just want to cry
All for the sake of having something new
But it is Christmas and you just have to buy.
You have to spend, spend and then spend
Squeezing every last penny from your savings
Your family has to have the latest trend
and you have to satisfy your cravings.
So get the battledress on and off you go
prepare to keep calm, keep sane
We all have to do it, because we know
it is that time of year again.

We had not seen each other
for over forty years.
We were both slightly nervous
each having own particular fears.
But then in she walked
It was if the missing years did not exist
and it was yesterday once more
I smiled and said "hello" then we kissed
Those in-between years just melted away
and we were sixteen once again
but we were more sophisticated
more so then we were were back then.
She was excited, I was delighted
to have my friend by my side
Kim, it was so lovely to see you
and for you my door is open wide.

It is 2 am and I am wide awake
There is a silence cutting the air
Hunger leads me to a cupcake
but there'is nothing there.
I listen to my teeth chattering
I am shivering,  there is no fire
Peeping I see a white scattering
Snow sits on the telephone wire
Everywhere is twinkling
The trees have decided to flop
There is definitely a sprinkling
of snow with a cherry on top.
My world's a white cupcake
It is 2 am and I am wide awake..

Far and few between
are my problems
but I knew that.
The endless queue for this
and that, it just grew
Into a squabbling line
I just knew.
Red faces, fast paces
screaming insults
Stamping feet, undone laces
not saving graces.
I just knew
I peel the vegetables
the floor is splattered
with peelings, not in my bowl
where they are meant to go.
oh no, the air is blue
I just knew.
The road is nose to tail
from beginning to end
would be quicker to mail
what I have to send.
I just knew
It is true I just knew.

He pulled up a chair
He tried to remember
It was in this square
and it was icy December.
He saw her point her toes
then she stretched her heel
Noticed how she stroked her clothes
she had so much *** appeal.
If only he could touch her cheek
She had ruby lipstick on her lips
If he did he could not speak for a week
and he noticed the curve of her hips.
Around her neck she wore pearls
draped lovingly across her chest
Her hair hung in tight curls
He closed his eyes to imagine the rest.
She glanced in is direction
He smiled his very best smile
he oozed with every affection
for he had sat there awhile.
