An early Christmas

Christmas in November
“Hark The Herald” sing
Dear, old Orphanides
Loves that Santa thing!
Tree, it’s so enormous
Need some Winter sun?
Still got summer sunshine
Reindeers just for fun!

Lots of lovely presents
Rows of crappy trees
Automatic Santas
Baby doll that wees?
Christmas lights are winking
Carols old and new
Cribs are made of plastic
Classy gifts are few.

Lots of toys for children
Barbie there with Ken
Guns and lethal crossbows
Peace on Earth to men!
‘Glad it’s nearly Christmas
Just eight weeks to go
Wear your Santa outfits
Let your whiskers grow!

‘Got a giant snowman
With a glowing nose
Mistletoe for kissing
Holly in his toes
‘Least the tills are ringing
Cashiers rarely smile
‘Buy your gran’ some Botox
Younger for a while?

Christmas in November
Everybody cheer
Buy your eggs for Easter
On the shelves…. New Year!
