COMING TO DINNER

Some of the family are coming to dinner tonight,
Roast beef and Yorkshire puddings, that’s right,
And roast potatoes and a sponge steam pudding,
It’s always fun when some of the family is coming,

It would be good all to meet and eat more often,
But now we have to do it relays, the blow to soften,
For the table isn’t big enough, and chairs are rather short,
Save for Boxing Day and we are all together for some sport.

That day the table groans with the weight of all the food,
We can sit where we like without being thought rude,
Upstairs, downstairs wherever we can all manage to fit,
But the most favorite place is around the fire to try and sit.

So although it’s fun to have the family come a few at a time,
Boxing Day is best for we’ll be together, over each other climb,
It does not matter about the weather, we are safe inside,
But it would be fun to have lots of snow on the outside.

It is different in the summer when the sun shines bright
And some of us can sit outside, even late into the night,
Watch the children laugh and play as we barbeque,
And happy memories are built to last our live-time through.
