Jack is not only a talented artist but a gifted poet too! Here is his poem which he read so eloquently for us at our Christmas Carol Concert this year entitled: My Christmas Thoughts
Dark nights, roast dinners
Roast potatoes – there’s never enough
Nah, to Brussel sprouts
Yes to pigs in blankets
Prefer bread sauce to cranberry
And it’s ice cream for me – not Christmas pudding
At home with the whole family – Mum, Dad, two brothers and sister
Grandparents not there
They’re in care
Pull the crackers – never ever wear the hat
Sometimes we read the jokes – groan
I buy a box of chocolates for the family
Heroes or Celebrations – everyone looks for their favourite
People put on a little weight
I don’t go out it’s far too cold
I like sitting at the laptop watching videos
There’s one that I like about dominoes
Push the end one and they all fall down
No we need to get comfy indoors and pretend we’re in a Finnish sauna
Turn that heat up!
On Boxing Day we visit grandparents
Grandma is not what she used to be
It’s her hearing, Dad has to speak louder
Life goes on as normal despite the festive season
We have to cheer ourselves up – we need a reason
I love Christmas music
The radio plays the old time tracks
All I want for Christmas is You
Christmas too commercial?
Really depends on the person
I’m very balanced
Another decade coming to an end –
Don’t know what it will hold
New Year’s resolutions? – nah, never do ‘em
