We sat down to Christmas dinner,
The four of us.
Our daughter,
Her daughter,
And her daughters friend,
With my loved one there in our thoughts.
We feasted on turkey
And the usual vegetables,
Yes the brussels were there again!
The meal went down well
And we retired to the lounge.
We sat around chatting and laughing,
Enjoying each other’s company.
I wondered into the kitchen,
A cup of tea was needed.
I boiled the kettle,
Put the tea in the pot.
Proper tea,
Not that bagged rubbish!
The boiled water went in
And left for two minutes,
Milk went into the cups.
The tea was poured,
Poured through a strainer
Into the cups,
All was ready.
I carried the tea into the lounge
And I saw it,
I saw that Christmas was over!
All three ladies were sitting there,
Sitting on the sofa,
Tapping away,
Yes tapping away on their ‘phones.
Yes, Christmas was over!
