Friday Poetry: Roald Dahl

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has some fun plans for the weekend.

My chosen poem for this week really made me chuckle so I thought I would share it.

Where Art Thou, Mother Christmas?

(Written for Great Ormond Street Hospital)

Where art thou, Mother Christmas?
I only wish I knew
Why Father should get all the praise
And no one mentions you. 

I'll bet you buy the presents
And wrap them large and small
While all the time that rotten swine
Pretends he's done it all. 

So Hail To Mother Christmas
Who shoulders all the work!
And down with Father Christmas
That unmitigated jerk!

Roald Dahl
