Christmas Rhymes

While shepherds washed their socks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The Angel of the Lord came down,
And passed the soap around.

“Fear not”, said he, for mighty suds,
Had filled their washing sink.
“Persil washes whitest of all
And does not leave a stink”.



Good King Wenceslas last looked out,
From his bedroom window.
Silly fool, he fell out,
On to a pile of red-hot cinders.

How his bum shone red that night,
Though the frost was cruel.
Then a poor man came in sight,
Riding on a mule.



We three kings of Orient are,
One in a bus, and one in a car,
One on a scooter,
Pipping his hooter,
Wondering where we are.
