Funny Poems Christmas

Its that time of year again for Funny Poems Christmas. No, I haven't got dyslexia. That's how funny Christmas poems are most commonly searched forCatherine Masters complained that the Queen sent her the same birthday card each year and this prompted Fred MacAuley who has a newsy chat show on BBC Radio Scotland to discuss how to make an impact when sending Christmas cards.Olive of Olive Designs, a card maker was on the show to talk about card making and I was invited on as a card verse writerShould you be so inclined you can listen to the show on hereRadio Showbut below are the two verses I wrote to illustrate how verses can be personalised. The first is a verse that the Queen might penAs your Queen and SovereignIt behoves one to sayArise! On Christmas morningAnd have a wonderful dayMy husband and I(And all the Queen's horses and all the Queen's men)Want your annus to be wonderfulisIn two thousand and ten(Annus mirabilis is the correct Latin phrase meaning "wonderful year" but that's just not funny. Phillip Larkin wrote...life was never better thanIn nineteen sixty-three(Though just too late for me) -Between the end of the Chatterley banAnd the Beatles' first LP.)At the end of the piece Fred asked for another sample personalised verse which I'm glad to say I had prepared beforehand. This is for a card I shall send to the programmeTo the very best Beeb radio showMerry Christmas MacAuley and CoMay 2010, the year anewBring continued success to Fred and crewMore Funny Poems ChristmasThis funny poems Christmas blog page is copyright Jon Bratton but of course individuals, including Her Majesty, may use the material for non commercial purposes
