Wrecking the tree

Don’t bash the baubles, Rita,

If you claw them they will snag,

And that’s a plastic robin

It’s really not a punchbag!

Please don’t climb the branches –

It’s not that kind of tree

Watch, you’ll tip it over –

Oh, can’t you let it be?

Don’t bite the fairy, Rita –

She’s done nothing to you.

Damn, there go her wings –

Now where’d I put that glue?

I see you like the tinsel –

It makes a rustling noise

Don’t open the parcels, Rita

The kids will see their toys!

Give me back my star

I need to put it on.

There, it’s looking lovely now

But where’s my tinsel gone?

Rita, will you please keep still

And I’ll unravel you,

How’d you get so wound up

In tinsel? Silly moo!

It seems that this destruction

Has made you really shattered.

That’s it, you have a nice little rest –

MY CHRISTMAS TREE’S IN TATTERS!!!
