It’s grey outside and getting colder and I have blogger’s block however this weekend my 16 year old son was not suffering from the same ailment. He has recently started writing rap songs, sometimes to order, and so when asked if he had started work on his ‘Christmas Collection’ he came down from his room a while later and performed this…..

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down and he said…..
I was born into this nation
To offer them salvation
My occupation was to teach
And preach gratification.
But it’s been 2000 years
And my word’s spread far and wide
But these people they’re as s*****d up
As they were from the beginning of time.


Love your neighbour as yourself
Does that mean you should be jealous of his wealth?
Is money more important than your friend’s poor health?
If it is hide your Bible on an old bookshelf.


A man suffered and died
With a sword in his side,
But even now we walk around
With far too much pride.
Soon he was resurrected
So Mankind could be protected
Yet still in Zimbabwe there’s a President self-elected.
But don’t get me wrong
I know this ain’t a cheery song
But it shows that Mr. (son’s name) is gonna be here for long!

So glad I am paying for a private education as it is evident, from this, that it is paying off!!
