Santa's Banjo Class

Santa has always been a musical chap,

He lived to sing after taking a nap.

So when Mrs Christmas went to the car boot sale,

(which she did every Sunday without fail),

And bought him a banjo, he started to wail !

Of course, without knowing, Santa was hopelessly out of tune...

So he asked for lessons for his birthday soon in June.

He practised strumming every night....

Even when the fairy was coming to turn out the light.

PLINK ! PLONK ! PLONK ! PLINK !

That one was closer to a B flat, I think !

The tune became finer, with an F minor....

Although Santa sounded like a noisy steamliner !

The cat screeched, the dog howled....

No wonder Gerome the gnome scowled !

Just like a cinder trapped under a door...

Wanted to be in tinder, so he practised a little more !

Although he tried as hard as he could...Santa still sounded awful. It really was no good !

So at the banjo school, his lesson started at eight....he rushed for the bus, not wanting to be late !

The banjo was bigger than a dinner plate....he worked so hard at it, he soon sounded great !

Before long, was playing in a band,

That had a number one hit - Winter Wonderland !!!

But everything didn't go quite as planned....

Because the Christmas fairy waved her magic wand !

A little bit of magic occurred and moondust sprinkled meant the banjo by itself could be heard...

As quick as a flash....the banjo went CRASH !

it played so loudly - Santa threw it in the trash !

That was the Christmas that the litter bin,

Played a din whenever rubbish was put in !!! No wonder Mrs Christmas needed a gin !!!!
