Amser Te Jug

                                                 


                                                                  5. Amser Te Jug


                                         There was a Welsh drama teacher from Bala,
                                         Needing gifts for aunts, cousins and mother
                                         'Twas Nadolig once more,
                                         And with relatives galore
                                         What to buy was an humongous  palaver.


                                        As December drew near,
                                        Carys dreaded with fear,
                                       The big day getting closer and closer.
                                       As the days grew shorter,
                                        Her list grew longer....
                                        17?!!!!... she MUST keep her composure.


                                         On the last day of school,
                                         At her desk with a rule,
                                         She still had no clue what to buy.
                                         Then,the light bulb came on,
                                         Leapt up, yelled "BODLON"
                                         As she pictured it in her mind's eye.

                                   
                                           Without further ado,
                                           Off down Blue Street she flew,
                                           And entered the shop with a smile.
                                          "Give me 17 of those,
                                           To get rid of my woes.
                                           I'll be packing those Welsh beauties for a while."


                                            17 jugs later,
                                            She ran out of paper,
                                            While her sweet smiling face was a fluster.
                                            With her blonde elfin crop
                                            She had shopped til she dropped
                                            With all the strength in her body she could muster.


                                            Up with the dawn,
                                            On Christmas day morn,
                                            She worried her choice was the right one.
                                            She needn't have feared
                                            Old Sion Corn with his beard
                                            Would have picked just the same as she'd done.


                                            In the homes of Cymru,
                                            It was obvious to see,
                                            Bodlon made one and all contented.
                                            A little gem found with care
                                            Is the Welsh Ladies Amser Te.........
                                           And Ein teulu got what they wanted ......(including Carys. )
