There once was a Christmas elf
Spangle
Who suffered from very poor helf
Marc
So he went to the doc
Rosie
Who did naught but mock
irach
And charged him the bulk of his welf
Raak
Nngh Naouwfaouwk vaey aouw taouwk woik vif
"In Norfolk they all talk like this"
Rosie
Whaa'? Even 'ng pahsh taoüns loike Diff?
"What? Even in posh towns like Diss?"
KagomeShuko
Jeg vil prøve å lære det
"I'd try to learn it"
Marc
Fast jag är en analfabet
"Though I am an analphabit"
Éirinn go Brách
Póg mo thóin! Tá mo bhríste trí thine!
"Kiss my ass! My trousers are burning like this"
Marc
There once was a chic little chick
(back to basics)
Software
A fashionista that made the rest sick
Raak
Her little black dress
Rosie
Revealed to the press
Tmkr
A house built of silicone brick
"If you can remember the seventies, would you admit it?"
Santas underlining elf
Marc - Twas the Night before Christmas I think,
Raak
That I thought I would have a wee drink
Rosie
So I poured out a brandy
Software
Got a hooker called Mandy
KagomeShuko
And called Charlie Sheen's shrink.
(
apologies about the reference to the
US News
)
Marc
At the end of this year let me say,
irach
It's been 52 weeks of great play
Raak
This collective of wit
Projoy
- since its fuse was first lit -
Giertrud
has taxed my matter that's gray.
KagomeShuko
A new year's a time for new things
FGZstar
And a time when ev'rybody sings
Juxtapose
So let's sip some wine
Marc
With some food that's divine
(Can anyone please explain Giertrud's line? I do not understand it at all but I am a blody foreigner of course...)
Software
And wait till the microwave pings
.
Grey matter - a reference to the stuff inside the head - i.e. the brain.
penelope
I've forgotten the things that I knew
irach
For example, is this year still new?
Rosie
And if not, then how old
Software
We should all be told
Spangle
If I'm kept in the dark - I shall sue
Rosie
While stuck on the M25
Software
A shortcut I tried to contrive
penelope
But my detour through Slough
You have the option - sluff or slouw...
Raak
Was more than enough
enuff or enow...
irach
To add a half hour to my drive
Giertrud
Hey, have you seen my rubber?
KagomeShuko
If I don't find it I'll blubber.
Marc
Is it this one - the black?
(G and KS, I admire the remarcable precision in two different persons posting ;-)
Software
Flavoured if you need a snack
Spangle
Another mercy killing -
Bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba
Now play properly!
Audience
Spangle, your license is now confiscated. You may go to your room and stay there!
penelope
We'd very much like you to try
Marc
Finding rhymes that will fit, don't be shy
Spangle
When you've done that
irach
Verses won't go all "splat"
Software
Or fizzle out and just die
Giertrud
Oh look! Here's a blow-up sheep!
penelope
[G] No there isn't. 1. It doesn't scan. 2. It's effing childish. Try harder.
Spangle
[penelope] I, too, am deeply disappointed with the children's recent behaviour.
Spangle - I need to confess to a crime
penelope
I've wasted four hours of your time
Knobbly
But in my defence
Marc
I will use common sense
irach
To provide you both reason and rhyme
penelope
I need to confess to a sin
irach
I went out the door that said "In"
Phil
My erratic egress
Marc
To my X's address
Software
Is because my mind's in a spin
Spangle
Was a flimsy excuse to buy gin
penelope
My shame of embarrassing sin
oh this is turning out to be a sorry tale...
Marc
I've drowned in a gallon of gin
Spangle
My soul's taken flight
FGZstar
So I think that I might
Chalky
Have some fun in the hell that I'm in
irach
Alas and alack! Woe, is me!
KagomeShuko
I think I just scraped my knee!
Marc
As I kneeled on the floor
Raak
Wrestling with a trapdoor
[Marc] Is "kneeled" modern American for "knelt"?
Juxtapose
While fleeing the
L.A.P.D.
[Raak] both are acceptable here in the States.
Marc
There once was a kneeling young nun
[Raak] Don't ask me, I'm an alien using MS-word for my poofreading...
irach
Who thought she'd stand up just for fun
FGZstar
Her habit then ripped.
Software
And her modesty slipped
Spangle
But she made the third page of 'The Sun'
Giertrud
Monty Python would just be so proud
KagomeShuko
if you played a tuba that's loud!
irach
With dead parrots in tow
penelope
Let's get on with the show!
Raak
Individuals all in this crowd!
Phil
Whilst playing "The Liberty Bell"
Spangle
Our bandstand collapsed - then we fell
Marc
And the bell fell and cracked
Knobbly
So with guilt I am wracked
irach
And Ben Franklin is giving me hell
Spangle
A round of applause please - I've just
Raak
Excavated this ancient Greek bust
irach
It is Aphrodite
Rosie
It's going back to Blighty
Giertrud
After I've cleaned all the dust.
KagomeShuko
My camera's screen's certainly dying
irach
I broke my scanner too without much trying
Spangle
So now I can't scan
-
pun intended - oh yeah
Marc
'cause when shit hits the fan
[Spangle]
Brilliant!
Mama
It is off to the shop and start buying.
Rosie
While bringing a meeting to order
irach
I played the Bach "Air" on recorder
Marc
After tapping the mike
Spangle
Someone said "Take a hike!"
Raak
For my Musical Offering just bored her.
penelope
I've done
all
your laundry by hand
well... almost half of it - the washing machine is broken
Software
And to scrub every floor I have planned
Rosie
Including the loo
Raak
And the soot-laden flue
Giertrud
And the beach that's STILL covered in sand!
Software
One day an old Pearly King
Phil
Was somehow mistaken for Sting
irach
Every breath that he took
Pablo
Caused his fizzog to look
Spangle
Like a tantric arrangement of bling
Marc
It's so cold I think hell freezes over
Software
As I'm driving my old Vauxhall Nova
Rosie
My fingers are numb
Raak
And so is my bum
(oblig.)
KagomeShuko
How long is it 'til I read Dover?
Chalky
It's taken four years to explain
penelope
Where the rain falls in some parts of Spain
Software
Yet the answer was clear
Rosie
It's in Andalucía
Hidden text
Driest part, actually. Too bad.
Giertrud
Where they have located the drain!

Marc
I tried finding words to rhyme clear
irach
Then gave up, and went to buy beer
KagomeShuko
When I entered the store
Giertrud
I found it cost more
Software
So my eye developed a tear
Marc
I cried, and I cried, and I cried,
