intro

Spencer Robertshaw anticipates what Christmas might bring in the latest poem in his 'Evidently Spencertown' series

It's getting cold and the gloves are on Kids are excited for that day to come The man with the beard and trademark red suit Is coming to town with loot to boot Writing lists and saying prayers Children want him to come to theirs With a ho ho ho and merry rasp Better hope your stuff doesn't leave his grasp Watching over all the year He knows to which children he will appear So don't be naughty,rude or bad Or all you’ll get is a tear and sad He won't come if you break the rules Better behave and do good at school Tidy your room and polish your shoes On Christmas morn you’ll love the view Foot of the bed lay a sack Santas had it on his back Full of gifts and children's dreams It’s verily bursting at the seams So it's Bond on Christmas Day And Uncle Arthur’s tone is gay Too much port with the mince pies Puts a sparkle in everyone's eyes So once again we celebrate And show kindness never hate Eat too much and drink like fish Everyone gets their favourite dish New Year comes and the diets are set For a week resolutions are met Then back to normal we all go Until next year Ho Ho Ho
