A scarlet-robed cleric caught binging
Appealed to the Pope without whinging
His fullsome effulgence
Won a splenary indulgence
Tho' a Cardinal sin was impinging.

The day Santa played with his yo-yo
He found that it gave him more go-go
He laughed with loud whoops
At his great loop-de-loops
And tried not to hee-hee but ho-ho.

Young Anne in a barn cleaning turds
Said: A-whey to the milk with the curds.
Quoth the Bard in surprise:
As the new moon doth rise
My Anne Hathaway with new wurds.

A President with far-reaching powers
Loved jogging in sunshine and showers
Whilst still in his prime
He made sure that he'd time
To stop and to smell all the Flowers.

Amongst the great Names, were the Freuds
Who collectively suffered from 'roids
Said their Doc with surprise
Oh my dears with that size
I suggest you insure 'em with Lloyds.

With her Grandma, Kate sat by the Liffey
Where they washed when their bonnets got whiffey
'Tis here Kate was taught
Not to fash nor get fraught
When she learned even clean things got stiffey.

Unchained Melody (Parody on 'The Streets of London)

(John London’s Radio Talk Show when he was
accidentally locked in the toilet)

Did you hear the shrieks fo London
From the toilet in the station
Calling for Jon-Jon
To come and set him free.

Armine let forth a sigh
Should it be one or two-ply
Nobody worried
The show must go on.

So how can you say
You were lonely
…and things about
where the sun don’t shine…..

Christmas in Africa

Christmas in Africa
under a Southern sky
On an evening warm
we all recall
A tiny infant's sigh.

Christmas in Africa
under a Southern sky
Where people rejoice
with heart and voice
In a wondrous lullaby.

Chorus:
Woza moya oyingcwele (Come Holy Spirit)
Al-le-lui-ui-ia.

Christmas in Africa
under a Southern sky
Where mountain mist
meets the seaside kissed

Johannesburg!

Johannesburg (Lyric)

Johannesburg
Johannesburg
I’m here and starting to shine
Like a chandelier
You spark the atmosphere
Come on! Let our talents combine.

Pink satin tights
Bright city lights
Oh wow! But I’m doing fine
I feel so lyrical
And it’s a miracle
To see these gumboot feet of mine just fly.

Chorus:

There is this big band sound
That’s playing all around
