Christmas in Dorset


The bells are ringing freely
its that seasonal time of year
the turkeys in the oven
there brewing good malt beer

the choirboys are all singing
the festivities are here
the forest trails are covered
in all that frozen cheer

theres the castle on the hillside
the boats in lulworth bay
the family's get together
kids have lots to say

the berries are on the branches
red like long ago
its a wonderland of comforts
in winds and falling snow

the farmers are up early
the cockerels crow at dawn
makes you glad to be in Dorset
where the chickens chewing corn

the bells are ringing freely
the Church's are full today
theres children unwrapping presents
on Jesus Christs first birthday

Its Christmas day in Dorset
where the thatch spreads on the roofs
where the yokels all sing hardy
where the poets are old in tooth

their reciting poems of Wordsworth
Tennyson's in form
theres picture postcards of the robin
 red pillar boxes decked in snow n chestnuts warm

ferndowns lit its lights of Crystal
those branches all a glow
its a Xmas wonderland
Dorset Christmas took the show
