| The challenge this month was to write a remix of a Christmas carol or song. Wehad lots of fun with this and it was almost impossible to read thepoems without singing them to the tune of the carol/song. This month's winner is Ioloa with Good King Gordon! Well done Ioloa!! Very  Good King Gordon Brown looked outOn the feast of ‘benni’Saw them beggaring (all) about,Pretending they hadn’t any...Brightly shone their tin cups then,And noses were glowing,He knew not from whence they cameBut he knew where they were go-O-ing.“Wotchacock!,” a youth chirped up,“Can you spare a tan-ner?I’ve had nought since half past nineSome scrote’s been on my manor !”“Take this youth,” old Gordon cries,“For a run in the Black Maria ,Feed him rum & hot mince pies,Until his brow per-spi-i-res!”Bring me turkey, bring me beef,Bring me lots of Bolly,I’ve still got all my own teef,And champers makes me jolly;It only comes but once a year,So make the most about it,Stuff your turkey, stuff austere,And stuff old Gordon’s bleeeeeeeeeeeeep! |

 GIRAFFE LIMERICK
You would need a very long scarf
If you happened to be a giraffe
You could get very hoarse
In the winter ,of course
And a cough is no cause for a laugh .!!!
