Under the table to the right of the fireplace
Moulders a bunch of bananas - what a disgrace.
They are as welcome in my home as junk mail
Or as cat litter in a dirty pail.

soap
scalpel
surgeon
strapless dress
I'm carving little animals out of a soap bar
Used a scalpel to cut, saved the shavings in a jar
I've got the skill of a surgeon, but I'm making a mess
I need to throw an apron over my red strapless dress.
The hiking boots in the corner belong to Pierre;
He has a feather duster instead of hair.
His obsession is collecting Canadian road maps
Behind the tottering pile of parking tickets you can see them, perhaps?

My electric toaster as just gone POW!!
What a load of tripe they sell you now.
My Taj Mahal trip was just as smelly
They gave me a Tokyo train map to find my way to Delhi.

Bob Dylan
Eric Clapton
electric piano
drum
The answer was blowing in the wind, according to Bob Dylan
So, I turned to Eric Clapton and found his guitar sound thrillin'
On the electric piano you couldn't beat Herbie Hancock
But, on a drum, Neal Peart can make the whole room rock
We played hide and seek among the trash cans
Wearing rubber boots and carrying frying pans.
Throwing tulip bulbs at Fred's little brother
And getting showered with coffee grounds by his irate mother.

turpentine
tram
technical college
tam o'shanter
Needed turpentine to clean my brush
After painting the toy tram for the Christmas rush
The technical college was collecting the toys
And giving stocking caps to the girls, tam o'shanters to the boys
I'm greeted by fresh rolls on a damask-covered wooden table,
Adorned with Christmas cards of Mary in the stable,
I rise and put fresh tea leaves in pot, lay the table with a cup, a saucer and a plate,
Make tea, eat rolls - postage stamps can wait.

I often count ungulates when I try to sleep
And Ode on a Grecian Urn sometimes makes me weep
I find strumming my ukulele to be quite satisfying
But, if I said my unmade bed is cause I'm busy - I'd be lying.
She wore a huge blue polka dot bikini
While she was microwaving her blinis.
They came out resembling an ironing board in texture
Dropping a dirty ashtray into them didn't improve the mixture.

I rented a van to go to Spain
But I could not drive due to a varicose vein.
My Vienna waltz was far from faultless
So I treated my veins with vole tail poultice.

I know why Santa ho ho's and wears a big broad grin
You'd be grinning, too if you imbibed 5 shots of gin.
The reindeer always stay sober so that can be sure of foot
And snort with glee when Santa confronts a chimney full of soot.

Elves
Holly wreath
Stockings
Chocolate milk
The elves grumbled about another year without a raise,
And Mrs Claus hung a holly wreath and counted off the days
Children world wide got their stockings ready to hang
And hoped chocolate milk would sooth Santa if he landed with a bang

For the tree I've bought silver tinsel that glitters
And candy canes are set aside for Santa's nine critters
I've laced a fruitcake with rum for Santa's favorite elf
But the red flannel nightie, I'll keep just for myself.

Pine cones
Eggnog
Everywhere the trees are frosted with icicles
While I try unsuccessfully to gift wrap children's bicycles.
Gilded pine cones get in the way
As I try to set down the mulled wine and eggnog tray.

There may be people looking around for fun things to do who have NEVER SEEN this thread. So I beg them to look at the rules on page 1 and then revive it!

The wreath hung limply on the door
The welkin glowed with frost of hoar
My woolly hat makes my head sting
My wanderlust is back thank the stars it's spring.

My lover brought me a daffodil
But what i really desired was a peacock named Bill
The bluebells he brought me were.... well blue!!
But all i wanted was an old cuckoo

Good one, welcome to the game Bekaboo!
A biscuit with sesame seeds in it
Is my private vice - but hang on a minute!
I also crave fresh prawns from my aquarium on toast
Grilled on an open fire, Three slices at most.

A heliotrope as invaded my rockery
But my angina makes gardening a mockery
So I wrap up in my kirtle, put some fish in the pot
I may feel like a pelican - so what.
