M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S


M is for Mulled Wine, and that kind of stuff, and
E is for Eating and having Enough.
R is for Rudolph and Reindeer as well, and
R is for Repeats (televisual hell).
Y is for Yule Log, which never goes out, and

C is for Carollers, who wander about.
H is for Harry, you know what I mean? and
R is for Robins who’re everywhere seen.
I is for Italian which I thought I had mastered, and
S is for Scrooge, a tight-fisted bastard.
T is for Tim who was ever so tiny, and
M for Médoc which is wondrously viney
A is for Alaska, occasionally baked, and
S is for Sherry by which thirst can be slaked.

And so Ruth and John in the year which is ending
Hope in this New one your spirits you’re mending.
As their move to a new home draws rapidly near
They sincerely wish you a Happy New Year!
