Celebrate

(for the Pink Rock Poets – Dec 05 Meeting)

kill fatted calf
open the wine
bring out the silver
make it shine

ring up the family
all our friends too
we’re going to make
a right old to-do!

put on some paint
red shoes and tights
put up the tree
tinsel and lights

I’ve a letter from Jim
he’s made it quite clear
he’ll be home from Iraq
by the end of the year
