\/>\nis geniality<br \/>\nIts a once a year thing they<br \/>\nAll look forward to it<br \/>\nHaving it on Christmas Day<br \/>\nOr Yule thats what it is known as<br \/>\nAnd its quite a game of chance<br \/>\nSue and Kevin cook up bones<br \/>\nWhilst donkey does his dance<\/p>\n<p>Johnty and Tessa the labradors<br \/>\nThe munchies they adore<br \/>\nChuckie he is the PIttie type<br \/>\nWhose always very sure<br \/>\ndonkeys he is the smallest<br \/>\nA little black and tan<br \/>\nLoves to dance about a bit<br \/>\nAnd really he is a fan<\/p>\n<p>Tegan likes to lay and watch<br \/>\nInsects on the lawn<br \/>\nMax and Skam are cats<br \/>\nThey clam<br \/>\nup, it seems and  yawn<br \/>\nBut when the fire is burning<br \/>\nAnd the moths are around the flame<br \/>\nThats when Mr Smeagol&#8217;s<br \/>\nhobbit impressions bring him fame<br \/>\nMax and Skam are moggies<br \/>\nAnd tease the dogs like mad<br \/>\nSusan is their mummy<br \/>\nAnd Kevin is their dad<\/p>\n<p>Animals have memories<br \/>\nAnimals, they know<br \/>\nWhen its getting near to Yule<br \/>\nThey hear the HO ho ho<br \/>\nThe big man on the chimney stack<br \/>\nPracticing like mad<br \/>\nAt climbing down the chimney<br \/>\nWith presents that he had<br \/>\nMade in a far off factory<br \/>\nAnd brought in via a sleigh<br \/>\nWith bells and and jingle jangles<br \/>\nIts the order of the day<\/p>\n<p>A barbecue with soup bones<br \/>\nBoiled up an aperitif<br \/>\nIts gets them really jumping<br \/>\nAnd its so good for their teeth<br \/>\nThey interact and clearly enjoy<br \/>\nThe merry spree<br \/>\nOf eating dancing and playing<br \/>\nIts where they like to be<\/p>\n<p>Slurping up the soup<br \/>\nAnd crunching down on bone<br \/>\nAll the animals love the party<br \/>\nThe past times it has shown<br \/>\nHow Mr Smeagol does his dance<br \/>\nAnd remember the GOllum accent<br \/>\nPossibly by chance<\/p>\n<p>South Africa is hot some days<br \/>\nBaking on the ground<br \/>\nBut in the evening it can get<br \/>\nCooler I  have found<br \/>\nAnd so generally they set it<br \/>\nAnd, watch how it burns<br \/>\nWith whole logs after kindling<br \/>\nThat truthfully it turns<\/p>\n<p>They all love their mummy<br \/>\nSusan does them proud<br \/>\nThe soup bones are an instant hit<br \/>\nAnd of course then they all crowd<br \/>\nAround her feet a yelping<br \/>\n&#8220;Can we have some more&#8221;<br \/>\nThis is what our bones need<br \/>\nAnd we so adore<\/p>\n<p>Chuckie can be funny<br \/>\nOften he exclaims<br \/>\nMy name comes from the  Cinema<br \/>\nA film and then he names<br \/>\nChuckie yes the demon doll<br \/>\nWho puts the wind up some<br \/>\nBut says that he is not like that<br \/>\nAnd will always be their chum<\/p>\n<p>Johnty and Tessa the Labradors<br \/>\nAre friendly oh they are<br \/>\nNothing they wouldn&#8217;t do for you<br \/>\nAnd they can run quite far<br \/>\nThey love to eat the munchies<br \/>\nBut washed down with some stock<br \/>\nMr Smeagol has good hobbits<br \/>\nAnd really is a rock<br \/>\nSusan really is drawn to him<br \/>\nHe is a handsome lad<br \/>\nStrong and bold and is clearly sold<br \/>\nOn Susan and his dad<br \/>\nDonkey he&#8217;s the black and tan terrier<br \/>\nQuite small<br \/>\nThats why they call him donkey<br \/>\nTo give him face thats all<br \/>\nTegan he is the Ridgeback cross<br \/>\nAnother handsome soul<br \/>\nLikes to lay out on the grass<br \/>\nAnd kind of take control<\/p>\n<p>Max and skam they run about<br \/>\nAnd like to climb up trees<br \/>\nBalls of cord can test their nerve<br \/>\nAs can the honey bees<br \/>\nIts a happy household<br \/>\nA menagerie of sorts<br \/>\nA really loving place to be<br \/>\nWith all those AR thoughts<\/p>\n<p>The barbecue is imminent<br \/>\nThe dogs all know the time<br \/>\nYou can feel their excitement growing<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t need this rhyme<br \/>\nIt is poetry in motion<br \/>\nTo see and  feel their glee<br \/>\nAs they slurp down all their lovely soup<br \/>\nAnd then come and lick me<\/p>\n<p>This household is so fabulous<br \/>\nThe animals they know<br \/>\nTheir human friends are wonderful<br \/>\nAnd just to really grow<br \/>\nUp in such a household<br \/>\nWhere the humans love and care<br \/>\nIs brilliant its beyond all words<br \/>\nAnd we all love it there<\/p>\n<p>And really we all get on<br \/>\nWe all are rescued hounds<br \/>\nEven the cats are rescued<br \/>\nSo really we have grounds<br \/>\nTo stay here for together<br
