Tick tock, like tinnitus, can you all hear
Christmas carols call like a ticking clock?
What is the date? Gift stocking can't be late
Dusk's dark as midnight - but it's only five
The elves and rheindeer grin on socks
To brighten up the end of year
All kinds of chocolates on the plate
And gifts galore to buy and give

I'm half asleep, and yawning, half alive
Santa's red and white hats fill tinselled shops
Wearing heavy, hooded coats, we still strive
To sparkle until winter flu strike stops.
White lights wound round lamp posts brighten our streets
Past pickpockets, join jolly shopping crowds
Shops fill with tempting chocolate Christmas treats
Dream of diet-free days when pud's allowed.

In January masochists will go
To countries blessed with even worse, deep snow
Well after Fall, when snowflakes are falling
Sales start, ski brochure bargains are calling.
Christmas crackers give jokes, mottoes, and rhymes
While others fly to warmer, palm tree climes
I wrap like snowmen, wait for happy times
When wise, kind clocks leap forward to summer time.
