There’s mayhem at the venue, for the staff have just arrived
to find some needed Yuletide cheer – they’re feeling joy-deprived!
They’ve worked so hard throughout the year (or so they all believe),
and now it’s time to hit the floor and rock this Christmas Eve!
*
There’s Terry, the accountant, who is dressed up to the nines.
He doesn’t drink much as a rule, but watch him hit the wines!
Tonight poor Terry may become a momentary hero,
but we suspect, when dawn’s light hits, he’ll feel more like a zero.
*
There’s Agatha, the boss’s secretary, at the bar.
She may be getting on in years, but still thinks she’s a star.
She’s known as quite the maneater, so office men, beware!
When Aggie bats her eyelashes, just get right out of there!
*
Oh dear – I think that’s Angela beneath that pack of guys.
They said they’re playing Twister, but it’s foreplay in disguise!
I hear some squeaks of protest, so let’s shoo them all away
so Angela can breathe and live to fight another day!
*
Now Charlie has a firm belief he’s God’s gift as a dancer,
But, truth be told, to lure the girls, his moves are not the answer.
His wild gyrations make one think of sick demented spiders –
they’re wilder still once Charlie boy has had too many ciders.
*
Now look who’s disappeared around the corner – Jack and Jill!
I’m guessing that they haven’t gone to stroll upon a hill.
I’m taking bets they didn’t go to fetch a pail of water.
Poor Jack had better watch himself, for Jill’s the boss’s daughter!
*
The mistletoe is dangling over Stevo’s reddened face.
He’s trying hard to kiss the girls, but he’s just a disgrace!
If ever they were tempted, they’d decide against it quickly –
his breath smells like a toilet and his beard is really prickly!
*
I think it’s best to leave them now as they cavort and drink.
God knows what else unfolds tonight and what the boss may think!
Let’s hope that no-one’s loosened tongue unfurls in acts of treason.
Let’s hope that they remember there’s a Reason for the Season.
