SCOTTISH CHRISTMAS FAIRY

I am a little fairy

On tap o' the Christmas Tree

It's no' a job I fancy

Well how would ye like tae be me


Aw tarted up wi' tinsel

It's enough to mak ye boak

An a couple o' jaggy branches

Rammed up the back o' your frock

An' these wee lights aw roon me

I canna get my sleep

An' there's the yearly visit

Fae Santa - Big fat creep!


On Christmas Day I'm stuck up here

While you're a' wirin' in

An' naebody says 'Hey you up there

Could you go a slug o' gin?


It's nae joke bein' a fairy

The job's beyond belief

Ye've got tae go aw roon' the wean's beds

An' lift their rotten teeth


But o' aw' the joabs a fairy gets

An' I've mentioned only some

The very worst is sitting up a tree

Wi' pine needles up yir bum


When aw' the fairies meet again

By the light o' the silvery moon

Ye can tell the Christmas fairies

They're the wans that canna sit doon


The Christmas tree's a bonny sight

As the firelight softly flickers

But think o' me I'm stuck up here

Wi' needles in my knickers


So soon as Christmas time's right by

An' I stop bein' sae full o' cheer

I'll get awa back tae Fairyland

An' I'll see yous a' next year.

Hi Cohan & Paddy,

Yes, I'm back in Switzerland and have really missed contributing to the Forum but everyone has been much in my mind and I'll post some photos from the UK trip after the Christmas celebrations.  We have a full house in the chalet with lots of young to keep us up to scratch and awake into the wee small hours!!!! 8)  Snowing today but my alpine rockery plants still look happy poking through - soon they will be blanketed in white.  Happy, happy days to you and looking forward to reading your posts whilst other are skiing!  Aye Robin
