Well we made it ... the last groanette before Christmas because we start the Black country Nativity tomorrow in 7 exciting episodes. The last little sniggerette is in recogntion of all the hard work the ladies put in up to and on Christmas day .....


A Wifey's Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the kitchen;
I was cooking and baking
And moanin and bitchin.

I've been here for hours, I cant stop to rest.
This room's a disaster,
Just look at this mess!

Tomorrow I've got thirty people to feed.
They expect all the trimmings.
Who cares what I need !

My feet are both blistered,
I've got cramps in my legs.
The cat just knocked over a bowl full of eggs.

There's a knock at the door, and the telephones ringing;
Frosting drips on the counter
As the microwave's dinging.

Two pies in the oven,
Dessert's almost done;
My cookbook is soiled with butter and crumbs.

I've had all I can stand, I can't take anymore;
Then in walks my husband,
Spilling rum on the floor.

He weaves and he wobbles, his balance unsteady;
Then grins as he chuckles
"The eggnog is ready !"

He looks all around and with total regret,
Says "What's taking so long....
Aren't you through in here yet??"

As quick as a flash I reach for a knife;
He loses an earlobe;
I wanted his life!

He flees from the room in terror and pain
And screams "MY GOD WOMAN,
YOU'RE GOING INSANE !!"

Now what was I doing, and what is that smell?
Oh bum it's the pies!!
They're burned all to hell !!

I hate to admit when I make a mistake,
But I put them on BROIL
Instead of on BAKE.

What else can go wrong?? Is there still more ahead??
If this is good living,
I'd rather be dead.

Lord, don't get me wrong, I love holidays;
It just leaves me exhausted,
All shaky and dazed.

But I promise you one thing, if I live till next year,
You won't find me pulling
My hair out in here.

I'll hire a maid, a cook, and a waiter;
And if that doesnt work,
I'LL HAVE IT ALL CATERED !!!

Thanks for following my little jokette journey up to Christmas ... I've enjoyed it and I hope you have too. I hope you all have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year xxx
