Ad ventorum


There’s been rain but no snow yet

The air is cold on my undercut

Smoke one right down to the butt

Then bin the last of my cigarettes

Doctor saw me at 9 am

There’s no cutting in the waiting line

Cut out once when I showed up fine

It’s nice being back at home again

Brass band playing by M&S

Crowding canny shoppers and their cobble-clap feet

Giving ain’t gracious when the present ain’t cheap

But leaves you feeling like you’re blessed

Coffee’s ‘bout a quid in my favourite caff

Put the penny in the tin for my dead friend

Times are hard but I’m sure they’ll end

With turkey trimming or cutting chaff

Maranatha, just you wait and see

Mary mild and Herod cruel

It’s not pretty, but it’s beautiful

This is all advent for me
