The Hayes's Christmas Guest
We had a turkey for Christmas,
and plonking him in a chair
we fed him cabbage and corn beef--
the best of Christmas fare.
We gave him fifteen courses
as much as we could cook.
We treated the turkey as royalty
like he was King Farouk.
We had Christmas crackers and streamers
to celebrate the Yule,
and giving the turkey a fine cigar
he sat like a big, fat fool.
We'd a vintage port to finish
and the turkey burped "Be Jayses,
there's never been a Christmas like
the one ye'd have with Hayses".
We toasted each other, we toasted our mother,
the turkey and R.S.Gwynn,
and laughed so much we all agreed
to have them back agin.
And so it was, flat on its back,
replete with Christmas lovin'
the turkey being fully anaesthetized
we popped it in the oven.
Yes Anne, if you're really bad you get to live here permanently.
I had a mother from Mallow Philip, so you're leading the pack and seem like you'd qualify for residence.
