Every year at Christmas
Newsletters start to appear
And many circular swallows
Will be heading for me - I fear.
They're written in the third person.
Why should this be so?
Is there a round-robin etiquette
Of which I do not know?

Jack and Jill have been working hard
(It's always the same)
Then they go and drop in
An unfamiliar name.
New Year saw the family
Skiing on Swiss mountain slopes.
Jill's a devoted and caring mum
It's amazing how well she copes.
The children excel at music and sport
They are extremely bright kids,
Jack's laptop came along too
For urgent business bids.
Jack and Jill jetted off to the Maldives
For some quality time together
Relaxing and unwinding -
They could rely on the weather.
Well, that's all from us,
We're spending Christmas in Spain -
Looking forward to all your news
I'll write next year again.
p.s. Happy Christmas!
