This is sung to the tune of "Deck the Halls"

Walk the halls with Gin and Stolli,
Alcohol the choice for Christmas time
Kiss the fat man and be jolly
Sing a merry song and drink some wine

See the fools at office parties
Getting filled up with complimentary ale
In the corner starting sorties
And those Kris Kringle gifts make us turn pale

Fast away the old year passes
How could production have been so small
New resolution from the bosses
Or our backs are up against a wall

Season's greetings all together
Come and sing, wondering 'bout he and she
Bankruptcy for me and Heather
So work another year is what will be.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Missed this before, thought it deserves a 'bump'

I know those bosses, I'm working overtime for the last 4 weeks  

Very nice poem and happy holydays to you too

Keth darling sister of my heart, how many times must I tell you to stop writing so well? Hmmmmm Don't you think I don't know you're just trying to upstage me. huh, as if you could darling girl    

Everyone, well Nan, Juanita, Stevie, and Lyra anyway, have all witnessed the way you whip my words before I've had half a chance to play with them. And as for everyone else, they all believe me (in an aside to the gathered poets) Don't you boys and girls?   (Darling girl it's pantomine season, it brings out the worst in me) I'll burst into song in a minute and give you a quick rendition of She was only a dairy maid but she knew where she'd get...... Now now I was going to say the eggs the chicken laid
No!!   Of course I was.

Fabulous writing, drat and double drat, absolutely superb darling girl. Love it and you really have outdone yourself. Wonderful writing
    
Love and warm stuff
As always
Slushy
    

To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1
