The Kintyre Forum Poem ( First line)

[ionnsaigh]

Here we go - that time of year
full of joy and good cheer
spend spend until your hearts content
not paying bills - leave the rent

Santa this and Santa that
flashing lights and fancy hat
trees a plenty plastic pulp
cheaper when you buy in bulk

Christ the joiner born in barn
no wonder he was angry man
his Mum a virgin his Dad a ghost
superstition at it's most

[linda_j]

another good one ionns

[ionnsaigh]

My heart as the rising of the tide
butterfly dance above crimson cover
beneath the hue o green bracken
above a warm yellow sun
shoots tender young green
a black and yellow humming bee
blackbird sings a summer song

Now the cold in darkest black
swallow long gone you stand alone
proof of life lies scattered on floor
dead dry crinkled dark brown leaves
crackle swish a cold north wind
your time approaching longest night
tomorrow we bathe in spring light.

Christmas comes but once a year

[ionnsaigh]

Crinkle crinkle little cluk
clutter clutter crinkle cluk
cluk cluk crinkle cluk
crinkle crinkle clutter cluk

Mary had a little lamb...

[bill]

and very nice it is too

though I prefer a smoked ham

the little lamb will do

[ionnsaigh]

Lamb in curry
and in stew
carrot onion
potatoes too

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Mary had a little lamb, and boy was she surprised..

[Hadrians hiring!]

Christmas comes but once a year

and Santa's sacks are bulging

[ionnsaigh]

Credit this an credit that

[linda_j]

Everyone is on the tap...

[ionnsaigh]

Santa Claus is a red
jumping aboot fae bed tae bed
awe the weans so well fed
santa go to Africa instead

[ionnsaigh]

Pakistan poor People Party - parade park panic
Benazir Bhutto bang bang blast - bullet bomb blood
murder mob mayhem - mad Musharraf meekly mimics
death destruction destroy - democracy dies
Bhutto bang bullet - bomb blast

Here's hoping the new year brings better news...
