Another Bloody Christmas

[stevenstirk]

There's 'The Snowman' on the telly
Empty beer tins in the hall
There's some dog s**t in the kitchen
Excrement stuck to the wall

And Mummy's in the bathroom
And she screams that she's insane
As she swigs a glass of vodka
And shoots up a well used vein

I hope that there'll be prezzies
When I wake on Christmas morn
Though I really haven't had some
Since the day that I was born

If I look in Dad's direction
He reminds me loud and clear
That I shouldn't look towards him
So I get a quick 'thick ear'

And once, a broken ankle
Plus a dislocated arm
And I hoped perhaps this Christmas
God would save me from such harm

Mummy's pretty kind though
Christmas dinner is the most
enjoyable, and last year
We had baked beans on toast

Our dog, 'Rex' is me best mate
When a saucer hit me head
He licked me wounds all evening
Even let me share his bed

So this year Father Christmas
If your passing down our street
I hope you stop and visit
To make Christmas time complete

And maybe Father Christmas
If there's room upon your sleigh
You might just take me with you
As I just don't want to stay

Oh Steve this raises such needed questions and brings a great wrench to any reader who cares Your humorous rhymes are full of smiles yet your compassionate heart is in the right place my friend - - such sad lines yet beautifully written.
