My Girl Friend

by Clive Ellis
(Horley, Surrey, UK)

To the girl, the one I love,
a little Christmas Ditty,
A simple ode that I have written,
to someone who is pretty!
I want to give you something,
I know you'll always treasure,
on Christmas Day my darling,
that will give you lots of pleasure!
But when you come to open it,
you'll laugh and think it's stupid!
A special gift just for YOU...
