I’ve decided to branch out from politics, as it’s Christmas. Even I get infected with jollity (if only briefly) at this time of year and as jollity and politics don’t really mix I decided to go Christmassy for the clerihews.
It’s only the subject that has changed though, the quality is still as dodgy as ever.
Those of you who aren’t from the UK may need to consult this link to try and make some sense out of the last one. Not that there is much sense in any of them at the best of times.
Father Christmas
loves sherry and citrus,
though he’s lately been thinking
of cutting out drinking.
Rudolph and Donner and Blitzen and Dancer,
Cupid and Vixen and Comet and Prancer
are all quaffing claret
after giving up carrots.
In the panto, Ebeneezer Scrooge
overdid the rouge
and ended up quite cranky,
made up as a manky Twanky.
Happy Christmas to everyone, though I have to ask if you should be doing more important things than reading a blog. 🙂
The time has flown by this month, and I am belatedly catching up with you. A Merry Christmas to you and Julia!
Thank you. I hope you all had a good Christmas too.
A quiet day here with Rick and the cats, and a good Christmas dinner with Merkelbach Riesling.
Sounds good. We had something cheap, red and Italian with ours (that’s descending order of importance for me – I’m by no means a connoisseur). 🙂
Mankey Twankey has tickled my fancy. Make of that what you will.
Panto never goes out of fashion. 🙂

Is there anything more important, when everyone else is still a-kip?
Bearing in mind your culinary arrangements you should probably be on a treadmill making room for the next meal. 🙂

Just taking a moment out from playing host.
Good plan, too much fun can be difficult to handle. I am trying to limit my jollity to eke it out for several days.
more important? Like writing a blog piece..too?! =)
🙂 Catch 22, I fear.
