Merry Fishmas And A Chippy New Year Poem by Dawn Ferrett

'Tis the night before Christmas, and all through the place
The fishcakes are vanishing without a trace.
The fish, the sausages, the chicken, the pies
Disappearing like magic before our eyes!

The pace is so hectic, the fryer feels frazzled
While the counter assistants are dazed and bedazzled!
The till's begun smoking - it can't take much more!
And still we've got people pouring in through the door!

The shop's full to bursting - we can't fit them all in,
And if this was a pub, we'd yell 'No room at the inn! '
But the tide of humanity is now ebbing away
And all is at peace at the end of the day.

Still one thing remains for the staff here to do.
Here's our Christmas message to each one of you.
To quote C C Moore (and I hope that's alright!)
'Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night! '
