Now The (Christmas) Party's Over Poem by Owain Glyn

Now the party's over, there are things that I must do,
I'll put them down in order, so they make some sense to you.

1) The first, and the most difficult, is to get rid of the tree,
I'll throw it over next door's fence, when nobody can see.

2) I'll eat up all the chocolate log, and put the turkey in the dog,
For me it means some increased size, and for the dog, a nice surprise.

3) I'll take down all the tinsel, and those gaudy fairy lights,
Return to some normality, with healthy family fights.

4) Now, that bloody awful sweater, with the grinning Santa Claus,
I'll give it to some passing tramp, who has to sleep outdoors.

5) The wrapping paper and the cards, I'll stuff inside a sack,
And dump them in the shopping mall, so they can have them back.

6) I'll examine all the bottles, and swallow any dregs,
Then pop down to the local shops, and buy some Easter Eggs! !
