I am taking down the Christmas cards, <br />I've thrown away the tree. <br />The baubles are all packed away, <br />There's no more Christmas glee. <br /> <br />I check the cards, see who they're from, <br />They don't mean much to me. <br />I'd rather they would ring me now, <br />Invite me round for tea. <br /> <br />I've taken down the holly, <br />My lovely crib has come to grief. <br />I'd love a turkey sandwich <br />With some stuffing and some beef. <br /> <br />I'd love some chipolatas, <br />Like the ones I threw away. <br />My son - he drives me crazy, <br />With his new bike he won't play. <br /> <br />I wish again for Christmas, <br />With lots and lots more fun. <br />With rushing? cooking? wrapping? - No! <br />I'm glad Christmas is all done!<br /><br />Joe Hughes visit joehughes.org.uk<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-past-3/
