The following poem was ascribed to Rudyard Kipling in the TV movie, The Gathering, starring Ed Asner, Maureen Stapleton, Lawrence Pressman, Bruce Davison, Veronica Hamel and others. In a near final scene, Ed Asner recites this poem, accredited to Rudyard Kipling but I have my doubts about that. Lawrence Pressman taps a glass with the edge of a utensil, I think a table knife, at the blanks that every one should be able to fill in. Read with a chuckle!
CHRISTMAS IN THE WORKHOUSE
Twas Christmas in the work ouse,
The best day of the year,
And the paupers all was appy,
For their guts was full of beer.
Now the master of the work ouse,
Strode them dismal alls,
And wished the men Merry Christmas,
And the workers hollered, -----.
Now the master he grew angry,
And swore by all the gods,
Theyll ave no Christmas pudding,
The lousy lunk of sods.
When up stood a war scarred veteran,
Whod stormed the Khyber Pass,
And said, You can take your Christmas pudding
And ----- -- -- ---- ---

:thumbup: :thumbup: Like it for sure~~~
I heard a slightly different version, from my mother:
Twas Christmas eve in the harem
and the eunuchs all were there
Watching the beautiful maidens
Combing their golden hair
The Sultan's voice so hearty
rang out through the hall
"What'l you have for Christmas boys?"
and the boys, they answered "Balls"
This made the sultan angry
and he swore by all the gods
"You'll get no Christmas pudding boys,
you bunch of filthy slobs
Up spoke a hearty eunuch
with a voice as smooth as glass
"You can take your Christmas pudding sir,
and stick it up your ---"
