Christmas Dinner
It's Christmas Day and you're stressed as fuck
'Cos all of the dinner you've still to cook
The bastard turkey refuses to defrost
The plot is gone, somewhere it's lost
It's been in the sink under the tap
The giblets are out and are staring back
It's as hard as fuck, it's as hard as ice
So into the garage and into the vice
Take the hacksaw in your hand
Feeling the urge of your inner caveman
Saw through the legs then through the wings
Feeling the smug satisfaction it brings
Grabbing the trusty hammer and chisel
To smash the breast bone and sinewy gristle
The battle is won, you hold it aloft
But realise the fucker is still not soft
Back to the kitchen for a quick wash
Into the microwave, beep, beep, bosh.
Relax for a minute, glug some wine
Shout at the turkey 'yer bloody swine'
Watch the bastard slowly revolve
Hoping the problems soon resolved
As you tap your fingers, your face is a frown
Some more wine and quick sit down
Wait for the noise of the microwave ding
Hope it defrosted the fucking thing
'Cos in 3 hours time the family arrive
Drink more wine to help you survive
Some of the bird is still rock hard
Whilst other bits are completely charred
Some of it has started to cook
The turkey is now completely fucked
The best place for it is in the bin
Lift up the lid and slide it in
Raise your glass, have another drink
Then another whilst you think
Just one more to lament the roast
Dinners sorted, it's beans on toast.
