In an kindly act of kindness
Which we sometimes wish to do
And Christmas being Christmas
We invited Auntie Pru
~
A maiden lady of sixty years
Who had never taken a lover
The reason why she remained unwed
We would very soon discover
~
The bed was far too lumpy
The bathroom far too far
Our little home was lacking
Most definitely over par
~
The turkey fat and golden brown
In keeping with tradition
Auntie stabbed it with her dinner fork
And eyed it with suspicion
~
Would you like to see my babies?
Asked Mandy with a grin
Pushed her self on auntie’s lap
Struggling with her tin
~
The lid flew off, the worms fell out
Three fat , two a little thinner
Desperately wriggling for freedom
As they explored poor aunties dinner
~
Now we really shouldn’t have giggled
of course it was unsavoury
Seeing Mandy’s wriggly worms
Doing backstrokes in the gravy
~
Auntie Pru left that afternoon
We tried to make her stay
But all in all we enjoyed the rest
Of what was left of Christmas day


A little fun piece for Christmas, and mostly true. Merry Christmas everyone.
