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