Summer Holidays

School’s out!  At last the holidays
But what is there to do?
So many hours to entertain
Amusement to imbue

To keep the children occupied
To save the words we fear
“I’m bored – there’s nothing good to do”
Those words heard year on year.

So fix a picnic, step on out
Into the countryside
Or park, the beach or open space
For more to do besides

Or kick a ball, or flop, relax
Just chill, or play, have fun
Perhaps go camping underneath
The stars – enjoy the sun!

Or maybe do some art and crafts
Museums – they’re often free
Or swimming, biking, taking in
A film that’s on TV

Or play a game – a board one! Yes?
To generate a smile
To keep the “I’m bored blues away”
At bay for a short while

School’s out.  At last the holidays
But what is there to do?
So many hours to entertain
Amusement to imbue

iSanta Christmas

Oh what glee had overcome him
As he sat there on his chair
His white beard a-gleaming brightly
His red coat hung over there

And held right in his kindly hands
An iPad was his aid
To do his Christmas shopping on
Though the elves were now afraid

For was he really serious?
Could it possibly be true?
That Santa Claus had got the bug
Of cyber-shopping too?

And Rudolph kicked up quite a stink
And jangled his sleigh bell
For never had he thought he would
Be retired for DHL

But Mrs Claus was so happy
That her man was now online
A-googling and web-browsing
Knowing Christmas would be fine!
