pookie170 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) I got sent this in an email- thought it was kinda funny, and so I'm sharing!! SCOTTISH CHRISTMAS FAIRY I am a little fairy On tap o' the Christmas Tree It's no' a job I fancy Well how would you like tae be me A tarted up wi' tinsel It's enough to mak ye boak An a couple o' jaggy branches Rammed up the back o' your frock An' these wee lights a'roon me I canny get my sleep An' there's the yearly visit Fae Santa - Big fat creep! On Christmas Day I'm stuck up here While you're a' wirin' in An' naebody says 'Hey you up there Could you go a slug o' gin? It's nae joke bein' a fairy The job's beyond belief You've got to go roon' the wean's beds An' lift their rotten teeth But o' a' the joabs a fairy gets An' I've mentioned only some The very worst is sitting up a tree While pine cones numb yer bum When a' the fairies meet again By the light of' the silvery moon Ye can tell the Christmas fairies They're the wans that canna sit doon The Christmas tree's a bonny sight As the firelight softly flickers But think o' me I'm stuck up here Wi' needles in my knickers So soon as Christmas time's right by An' I stop bein' sae full o' cheer I'll get awa back tae Fairyland An' I'll see yous a' next year.

Flora Report post Posted December 21, 2008 That's lovely Pookie I read one the other week which explained the reason why we put fairies on top of the tree.... Santa had had a really bad day. Everything had gone wrong that could go wrong, and more. Just as he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown a small fairy knocked on the door with a christmas tree and asked him 'Where would you like me to stick this?'

Kathryn Report post Posted December 22, 2008 That's great! I'll print it off and take it to my inlaws with whom we're spending Christmas. My father in law is Scottish and I'd like to hear him read it aloud. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
