Day 142 of 365 (31 Dec 2009) - Boy George Has Lost...
Watching the Jools Holland hootenanny That’s on around the turn of the year Normally brings many musical performances That bring me lots of great cheer But one eighties icon let himself down With singing that can only be described as bad And it made me certainly think that The hits in the eighties that he had Maybe weren’t sung by him at all Because his voice tonight was just so poor...

Day 138 of 365 (27 Dec 2009) - Wild In The Aisles
Christmas Day has finished Everyone now goes shopping The tills are just a long queue As the money goes a ringing It’s almost as if we’ve all waited For the main day to be over So we can hit Next at 7am And be all have a fight over The one item in the one size That everyone wanted from there But to be honest I can’t be meithered It’s all too much to bear I suppose this year...

Day 137 of 365 (26 Dec 2009) - Let's Get Quizzical
I ask the questions I have the CD player at the ready It’s all prepared with tracks played backwards With Christmas hits to guess the years of And it’s not the easiest one to get right But I know that for the last seven years What I’ve managed to do is bring people together And competition is pretty fierce when they want to win Because being the champion is what they aim for So...

Day 136 of 365 (25 Dec 2009) - Christmas Songs of...
In the nineteen seventies everyone tried To write the ultimate Christmas song That you’d hear every Christmas afterwards And which would all invoke a singalong In nineteen seventy three there were three Main contenders for the classic title that year Elton John stepped into Christmas But that didn’t get that much festive chart cheer Wizzard were from Birmingham And Roy Wood even looked...

Day 134 of 365 (23 Dec 2009) - Appreciation
Isn’t it ever so lovely when Your friends are so loving and giving When the meaning of Christmas is to give And that your life is fully for living When you can have a wonderful meal With chat, conversation and company And where we’re all at ease with each other Having drinks and them flowing freely It means a lot to me to have nice friends And I certainly had a great time too It makes...

Day 132 of 365 (21 Dec 2009) - Winter Warmer
I see the blackest pint in the pub And think of the darkness within But also the warmth that real ale gives me A feeling of warmth inside At room temperature it feels just right And definitely warms you up well Insulating against the cold frost outside I just wish I could have plenty more!

Day 130 of 365 (19 Dec 2009) - December Haiku
The snow has fallen White stuff everywhere you go Roads are hazardous.
(just don’t try and drive around the South East of England at the moment - it’s a tad on the icy side!)

Day 128 of 365 (17 Dec 2009) - Ooh, Snow!
It hardly ever seems to be That the white stuff comes down here It has to be bloody freezing cold Or full of Wintery wonderland cheer But as I looked out of the office And peered through the glass window I could see the flakes of white That made us all go “Ooh, snow!” Everything seems so crisp and white And very very cold and chilly But if all this frosts a bit too much Those pavements...

Day 126 of 365 (15 Dec 2009) - Last Minute...
You visit the Christmas Market In search of inspiration But all you find is what you don’t want That gives you desperation You then try the main shopping centre To find the gift that’s so elusive But the only chance you’ve got Are in the shops that’s so exclusive When you get there what you want Is completely out of stock Why did you leave it till so late To do your...

Day 124 of 365 (13 Dec 2009) - Proper Tea Shop...
I used to go for a cup of tea In a rather nice old little tea shop That served neat little cupcakes But one day it all had to stop The recession had hit the nice place And so it came to be no more So it was a shock when I went today And found it all a closed store It added a little to the town centre And made it much less corporate Now everyone’s in Starbucks down the road And it feels just...

Day 120 of 365 (09 Dec 2009) - Painkiller
I want to complete Rock Band 2 And get to the very last song Because it’s a hard rock metal classic Which I know is six minutes long But you have to go through that tour mode first And that can be rather frustrating Playing the same songs over and over Just to get a high career rating I just wish I could unlock it all in one go And do the songs that I want to do But one day I’ll get to...

Day 118 of 365 (07 Dec 2009) - Can We Have A...
Every year at Christmas time We all know what the score will be An X Factor winner will release their song And the number one is theirs, you’ll see I am sick and tired of this predictable formula And none of the songs feel right Why can’t we go back to some tradition Where the number one on Christmas night Actually is about the festive time of year Where we can eat, drink and be merry...
