An Aussie Christmas

A little bit of Okker Humour. You may even know the erms, if not look them up. Yes it's fast approaching.

An Aussie Christmas

Christmas in Australia is different to what you know ,
We don't see any reindeer and for sure there is no snow,
No steaming Christmas pudding, or eggmog by the fire. ,
Too much of that there hot stuff, makes us all perspire.

The sun is brightly shining. The sky is blue and bright ,
The waves are breaking on the beach, the tide is just in right ,
I;ve got my great new surfboard, the barbie's on the beach,
The chops are cooking nicely, the snags are lined up neat,

The temp is in the 40s, the sand is fine and white,
There's coldies in the esky, all has turned out right
Who needs the snow and iced up roads, Santa and his sleigh,
We'll have a red hot Christmas that's the Aussie way.

John W 14/10

Do we want snow? Seriously I don't think so. We are who we are and you have made that clear, with a familiar ring of Aussie expectation.

Love this write John.

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
