December Ditty

Six Gelly Babes in search of December

Composed by Gelly Helen J

(sing to the tune of 10 Green Bottles, with occasional repetition of a line in order to make it work)  Happy singing!

There were six Gelly Babies planning what to do

Six Gelly Babies planning what to do

December trips not easy, daylight hours are short

There were six Gelly Babies planning in the dark.

 

There were six Gelly Babies suggesting what to do

Six Gelly Babies suggesting what to do

Possible jaunts in south Derbyshire, Notts or Derby too,

There were six Gelly Babies confused as to what to do.

 

There were six Gelly Babies deciding what to do

Six Gelly Babies deciding what to do

A nature walk in Elvaston, then drinking in a pub

There were six Gelly Babies agreeing what to do

 

There were six Gelly Babies excited about meeting up

Six Gelly Babies excited about meeting up

Then one Lynn baby found something else to do

Grandparenting duties  too hard to refuse

Leaving five Gelly Babies still keen on meeting up.

 

There were five Gelly Babies re-jigging all the plans

Five Gelly Babies re-jigging all the plans

Then one Pam baby had now run out of time

Marking seemed more preferable to watching all the coots

Leaving four Gelly Babies querying what to do

 

There were four Gelly Babies struggling now what to do

Four Gelly Babies struggling now what to do

With Maggie’s back now painful, walking hard to do

A trip round the nature park a silly thing to do

Leaving three Gelly Babies questioning what to do

 

There were three Gelly Babies slightly now bemused

Three Gelly Babies slightly now bemused

Then Helen M baby had lots of stuff do,

Selling her Art on ebay; money to accrue

Leaving two Gelly babies not sure what to do

 

 

 

There were two Gelly Babies wondering  what to do

Two Gelly Babies wondering what to do

Then Jo made a decision, to give this one a miss

Leaving one Gelly Baby thinking ‘what a to-do’.

 

There was Helen J baby with time now on her hands

Helen J baby with time now on her hands

To write this silly ditty, maybe bringing smiles all around

Trying to be creative and hoping you all agree

 

So Helen J baby is planning now for Jan

Agreeable dates most welcome, ideas for our next jaunt

Wishing you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too!
