Do you want to lend me some time for I am always short of it
The twentyfour hours that are mine they never seem to fit
There's always more I want to do so I'm stealing  from the night
And then at morning's rising sun it is the sleep I have to fight

Next week it's Christmas and Oh dear I've nothing ready yet
The rooms and kitchen are a mess the bathroom leaks all wet
I have to cut the little branches of the peartrees for the light
We turn them into twinkling trees with little lamps shining bright

Four young sheep are on vacation with a donkey stealing the show
At gardencentre's X-mas stable where many folks come and go
I have to collect them again next week and bring them to the flock
Feed them hay, some other goodies and water around the clock

We have to cut again the wood for the stove is burning like hell
I have to buy a lot of candles for I really love them very well
And then the decoration, Oh brother I still didn't buy the tree
Wich will hang on our ceiling so for cats he will be save and free

What will we be eating at Christmas should it be meat of my own fish
See what I am up against so lending some time is my only wish
I never know if the kids will be there for they have simply not decide
wether to stay home or come to us, I can imagine for it's a long ride

I hate the put on pressure much so I always let them free to choose
So once in a while we'll see them here and sometimes we do loose
And then I've still some days at work but I told them very clear:
"From Friday on till January second you guys won't see me here"

And so I ask you if you'll lend me some time till Friday at the least
For if you don't then it's your faulth when I'm a wreck at Christmas' feast

Titia, my goodness you have so much to do!  I can gather the animals from the display for you while you start the feast...
then I will feed and water them while you cook the beast!  
Slow down and breathe Titia...and please...
         *Enjoy the Holidays*
Come into Passions as I do to relax!
~Hugs, to you my friend, Nancy~

You know if I had time to lend
I’d lend it just to you
But it seems before I’ve got half done
The day is nearly through
I also borrow from my sleep
To get what I want done
Before I’ve hit the pillow
Oops, there comes the sun
So if you find a helper
To lend to you some time
Please send them over my way
Ask if they’ll help with mine

Isn't it true Titia, so much to do, and so little time to do it. However, I've no doubt that you will manage to get it all done somehow.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Titia - sounds as if you could use a little time. But please don't take any off until you invite me for Christmas dinner with all of the fixings....
