O’Malley Irish Christmas

Christmas day all gathered here
To celebrate with wine and beer

Special people one and all
Lets all relax and have a ball

The host Maura my lovely Mam
Has cooked the dinner as only she can

Soup for starters we’re not posh
We just enjoy a good old nosh

What’s for mains I hear you shout
Of course turkey and ham with a big bowl of sprouts

All the trimmings with roast spuds
Bloody hell this dinner sounds good

And after this if you’re not stifled
A nice big gateaux and a bowl of trifle

So thank you Mam for what you’ve prepared
No one will complain we’re all too scared

A couple more mentions for family present
I’ll try to keep the comments pleasant

Welcome to Paula and brother Billy
Don’t drink too much please nothing silly

Anne Marie a welcome to you
Please enjoy a wine or two

If you have too many everybody knows
You end up in bed in all your clothes

To Alex your daughter and Sean your son
This day’s for you enjoy the fun

To have lovely children there’s nothing greater
They can even do the dishes later

My daughter Katie is also here
She’ll help us finish off the beer

At Irish coffee she thinks she’s the best
but I’m sure Mam could put her to the test

So to Ole, my little grandson
I hope he’s also enjoying the fun

He’s only little but oh so loud
Of my grandson I’m so proud

A mention too for little me
The quiet one in the family

A perfect lady all the time
I hardly touch a glass of wine

Now the part we’re we may shed a tear
So all raise a glass and lets here your cheer

We send to Dad a Christmas wish
Always in our hearts and always missed

So a toast to Dad and to all gathered here
Merry Christmas and happy New Year

Let’s finish this poem if I may be so bold
Before this bloody dinner gets cold.
