Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Shame to hear its dying up in Scotland, these old traditions were a part of the community's that used to thrive everywhere.

Evening All.

That's good news on the blood test front May! You'll be pleased at that I'm sure. I've had a pain in the wallet day today. Went over a sunken manhole cover in the main street. Big bang. Front spring shattered. Car immovable. Rescued by the AA (A1+++++ for speed and service) Car to garage. Car repaired and will collect in the morning. Claim against the council ??? East Ayrshire Council have untold volumes of "Book of Excuses" and "How to avoid paying out" I'm sure. Will start the process tomorrow. Gimme strength ! Grrrrr.

CHRISTMAS FAIRY

I am a little fairy
On tap o' the Christmas Tree
It's no' a job I fancy
Well how would you like tae be me

A 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 a'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
You've got to go roon' the wean's beds
An' lift their rotten teeth

But o' a' 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 a' the fairies meet again
By the light of' 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.

Found this funny wee poem which gave Me a good laugh

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)
