Twirly. (Too Early)

Poor old Father Christmas sleeping in his bed,

Was woken by a lot of noises echoing in his head.

It seemed to come from shops and places making Christmas noise,

He thought he'd better get up now and start to load the toys.

Tesco, Sainsburys supermarkets seemed to be the worst.

Stocking all the Christmas stuff until they nearly burst.

Looking at the calendar old Santa got a shock,

As he tried to push an iPad into some young kiddies sock.

For Christ(mas) sake what's going on it isn't my turn yet.

We've not had Halloween with ghosts and there's fireworks to get.

He worked up such a paddy that he really lost the plot,

Stormed out to find the wheelie bin and went and binned the lot.

So if you find on Christmas morn there's nothing there for you.

Blame Sainsburys, Tescos and all the other supermarkets too.

Swap you my Halloween, bonfire night and Easter for your Christmas?

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

Hate Halloween give it back to our American chums,Easter and Christmas can stay with the J.C club which leaves me with bonfire night and Guy Fawkes with proper hand built Guys and penny for the guy scruffy kids with dirty knees and cheeky grins,and penny bangers and dodgy fireworks that don't go off which is my kind of heaven...............skis and a bonfire scruff x

I'm with you,I can't stand all the commercialised clap -trap.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Well there is that and it goes on far too long. But seeing staff wearing Christmas hats or dressed as Elves etc and smiling a lot more than usual, together with children getting all excited, does it for me.

I would never admit it of course, I have my grumpty old fart reputaion to maintain.

26 years delivering Christmas for people wears a bit thin.Bah humbug......

You sound older than me @skischool ! It's a very long time since I experienced a bonfire night as you just described it. What used to be Mischief Night has become 'Trick or Treat' night and bonfire night 'Bang-bang-bang' night.

i am mentally older than you Master Po with my cynical outlook but spiritually i am just a wee bairn..........................grasshopper skis x

[Hidden in reply to mrsmummy]

Could you use 'twirly' in scrabble?

[mrsmummy in reply to Hidden]

I would allow it. Not sure anyone else would though.
