Are You All Set for the Christmas?

Are you all set for the Christmas
Ready for that great day,
Spend time with the family
Everyone has their say,
By the evening it's decided
To the nuthouse you're bound,
Are you all set for the Christmas
And all those sorrows to be drowned?

Are you all set for the Christmas
For gifts and for cheer,
Tense family gatherings,
It’s that time of the year
When you’ll open your wallet
To buy a big round,
Are you all set for the Christmas
And to spend the few pound?

Are you all set for the Christmas,
For the turkey and the ham,
Though you’re not feeling festive,
It’s a bit of a sham,
Your head’s in a mess,
There’s tinsel and tat all around,
Are you all set for the Christmas
And to spend the few pound?

Are you all set for the Christmas
A time of miracles and joy,
Eat tons of treats
Hope the taste doesn't cloy,
By Stephen’s Day you're well settled
In the new quarters you've found,
Are you all set for the Christmas
And all those sorrows to be drowned?

A True Story

      Wherein we encounter Mr. Grudge Galmount...   Forget wood. He wanted to be a carpenter of words. So he persevered and wondered if he was writing the longest suicide note in history.   He was jolted in his mind to St. Valentine’s day in 1996:                                                          “Morning time blinding sun,                                               Terrible letter has come,            ...

Refugee Effigy Punch-Drunk in Bludgeon Pub

                                      (Taken from The Evening Lies 07/07/2017 by reporter Todd Flesk) Proud pub landlord Ronan Colreavy spoke yesterday of his delight at an effigy of a refugee he has displayed in his bar The Wife Beater in Bludgeon city centre. “The reaction has been fantastic, my regulars love it and it’s great for business,” gushed Ronan, licking his lips and showing euro signs in his eyes. The idea was hit upon by a few of ‘The Lads’, as the pub regulars are known. They had been drinking all day, after an important Premiership morning clash, when Dano Scutts (a drinker at The Wife Beater for over 20 years) got onto the subject of refugees.
