Till Next Year

\nAnd now, at last, it’s over we can pack it all away
\nThe tinsel and the fairy lights and games no-one will play
\nThe turkey’s almost finished though we’ve got a lot more ham
\nI’m getting sick of too rich cakes, I want some bread and jam.<\/p>\n
The tree is shedding needles so we’ll pitch it out the door
\nAnd take down all the Christmas cards, put candles back in store
\nRecycle empty bottles, well you have to have a drink,
\nThen polish all the glasses that are clogging up the sink.<\/p>\n
New Year arrived with singing and a party popper spree
\nBut now it’s time to settle down and watch a DVD
\nI’ve got a dozen books to read and oooo there’s sweets to eat
\nThe winter will be warmer with these slippers on my feet<\/p>\n
I nipped out for some shopping, out of things like milk and bread
\nAnd now a dreadful image is at large inside my head
\nNo sooner have we rid ourselves of all the Christmas elves
\nThan hoards of retail drones are putting Easter eggs on shelves!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nActually they started putting them on the shelves before Christmas, but I tried
\nto ignore that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
