Christmas time has come and gone
But the malady lingers on,
Too much egg-nog really tells
And I still hear "The Bells!" "The Bells!".
May the Season never end
But pass the Alka Seltzer friend.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Christmas comes and presents too
I hope that yours was good for you.
I know I ate too much again and
Sugar levels were a pain,
But it was worth it all to see
My ever loving Family.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
I found presents on the tree
A CD Burner there for me,
"Windows for Dummies" there you are,
And a Gazebo for my car.
An auto radio was really hot,
And so I think I'll keep the lot.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
There's noises on the roof tonight
And in the lounge a wondrous sight
As gathered round the Christmas tree
Are friends and all the family
So may I say before I'm done
"God Bless Us Each and Everyone"
From your mate Aussie John, 2002.

Santa's gone - Oh what a fuss!
The kids are saying "Toys-R-Us"
New year awaits us as of yore
I wonder what it has in store?
At my age (I would like to say)
I'm thankful for another day
And the chance to see it through
As long as it's with friends like you.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
I'm in the attic way up high
Where I can see the world go by
But when we're busy - I've got proof
I sometimes end up on the roof.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
A new year lies ahead once more
Let's hope it's better than before.
That there will be an end to strife
And we can live a peaceful life.
So may each day bring harmony
Into the life of you and me.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
A New Year's wish to you and yours
I hope the kids saw Santa Claus.
As everybody celebrates
"Please God look after all my mates".
The New Years when I'll make my mark
You'll see "G'Day", and "I'll be Bach".
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Now the Christmas season's passed
And we can settle down at last.
Get on the scales and hear them say
"One at a time please", for today.
Undo the belt one notch at least
Because of all that Christmas feast.
Pack up the tinsel, stash the tree
It's exercise for you and me.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
It's my final time to chat
So Merry Christmas and all that.
Don't over do it but have fun
With peace and joy to every one.
And may the New Year just hold wonder
From Aussie John and all "Down Under"
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Yule have to pardon me I fear
"Cos Aussie John is out er here.
A Happy New year one and all.
This year has really been a ball
New year awaits to make its mark
But you all know that "I'll be Bach".
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Wreck the halls of boughs and holly
Santa's left, no longer jolly.
Grand Kids all gone home at last
So I can dream of Christmas past.
Just twelve months left and then I know
It's time again for Ho! Ho! Ho!.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
New Year faces us once more
So on the old year close the door
Good times to come for you and me
So let's take down the Christmas tree
And make a vow twelve months will bring
The very best of everything.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Now's the time for Christmas past
New Year's eve is coming fast
Blow the whistle ring the bell
Let's see the old year out as well
A new day waits for you and me
So let's break out the bubbly.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
My Christmas present trousers were too small
And I could not get into them at all.
Maybe exercise will solve the lack
"Who am I kidding, I'll just take them back."
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Seasons come and seasons go
Like "Ole Man River" I just flow,
I float on high o'er vale and hill
Some people think that I'm a dill.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Being on the Chat's a ball
You get to speak with one and all
I'll type a page but ere I score
I've got that rotten Boot once more.
