8 November 2012
Specks of sunlight, falling snow, Some flickering lights from years ago, A glass of eggnog, chocs and wine, And Shakin Stevens ain't no crime.
There's MTV and Xmas crackers, Party hats and almond wrappers, All my friends fulfil their lore, To crash out, midday, on the floor.
There's marzipan and glacé cherries, Stuffing, raisins and cranberries, Biscuits, later, with some cheese, At my excitement, one might tease.
