I could never get excited like the others in my class
When Christmas was approaching it meant I went to Mass
I couldnt understand the reason the other kids had fun
All I got at Christmastime...was an apple or a bun
No cheery songs or party hats..my Dad said it's too dear
Yet he always had enough for drink when it came round to New Year
We never had those turkey feasts we saw on Christmas telly
My Dad said..its too rich for you..it will only hurt your belly
Here!...take this bowl of soup instead and eat up plenty bread
This kind of foods for adults..it'll only spoil your head
So if your like the Dad I had...even though he's still alive
Now its my turn to be a bastard...for to me hes a long time dead!
Author notes
As a child...Christmas for me was not the happiest of times....dont worry..I made sure my own kids had a great time!
Please tell me what you think
