Deep And Crisp And Even

Twas the night before Christmas
In his home full of cheer
Roth was adding last touches
And toasting the year

He checked his list carefully
His work was all done
And he sighed with relief, it
Was time for some fun!

The cards they were posted and
The presents all wrapped
There was food in the fridge and
His visits were mapped

In his front room, resplendent
His tree with a star
Which recalled the old tale of
Three wise men afar

As he sat reminiscing
Of true tales he'd told
He remembered all those who
Were out in the cold

So he called on the badgers
And toasted their sett
Then he played them at dice and
He lost ev'ry bet

Roth returned to his house and
He closed his back door
And his ears they were filled with
A welcoming roar

So he popped in on Kingy
The lion upstairs
And they buried the hatchet
Then drew up some chairs

They shared cold cuts of zebra
With cheese, port and bread
And then, both of them weary
They farewelled to bed

As he put on pyjamas
Brushed teeth to both ends
Roth counted his blessings;
Health, family and friends

And so long before midnight
With a hot milk in bed
Roth watched Monty Python
Then slept like the dead

And when Santa came calling
He left them cool things
Three new BluRays for Roth and
Three new ties for King

Then old Santa's eye twinkled
He'd a long way to go
But he'd just time to leave them
A blanket of snow

Twas the night before Christmas
And all round the Earth
Folk were adding last touches
And toasting new birth


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
