The sun has got its hat on
hip hip hip hooray....
so we decided to enjoy
every minute of this day!
We set off wrapping presents
in ribbons and Christmas tape
but a glass or three of sherry
left them wrinkled with a gape!
Next to deck our hall with holly
some ivy and mistletoe
but while tottering on the ladder
hubby's colostomy let one go!
The fire alarm above his head
set off in shrieking mode
which had the neighbours running
up and down the road!
Next to fill the kettle
to make a cup of tea
tripped over last years fairy
and fell upon my knee!
Unfortunately the tree lights
were still attached to fairies thong
and the water from the kettle
shorted out the whole street long!
So we had another glass or three of sherry
for himself and me
collapsed in front of the fire
and napped till half past three
On waking..... the garden it was sparkling
with freshly fallen snow
where did the sun with hat on
and our precious minutes go?
