It was Christmas eve in the valley <br />The miners came up from the pit, <br />They came out of the cage picked up their wage <br />And went home for a shower and a shave. <br /> <br />Yes it was Christmas eve in valley <br />The beer flowed from the barrels. <br />And the valley choir in warm attire <br />Was out singing their Christmas carols. <br /> <br />But no holiday for the girl in grey, <br />A district nurse named Megan Reedy, <br />Over vale and hill with bandage and pill, <br />She would cycle to succour the needy. <br /> <br />Now Yanto Reece Morgan known as the organ <br />For reasons I dare not explain <br />Had sat on a nail which had punctured his tail, <br />Had turned septic and was causing great pain. <br /> <br />With a sob and a curse he sent for the nurse, <br />And she came to his aid Christmas day, <br />She said, ”An inspection might detect an infection <br />So let`s look at your bum right away”. <br /> <br />Morgan was a guy who was just a bit shy, <br />But she had his trousers off him in a trice <br />And the thing that she saw struck her with awe <br />And made her quietly whisper, “There`s nice”. <br /> <br />She packed her portmanteau to live with with Yanto <br />Forty years of great happiness and fun <br />Every year without fail they worship a nail, <br />That nailed them both together as one.<br /><br />archie langford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-yuletide-tale-of-a-rusty-nail/
