Jingle All Your Bells - Catherine Power Evans
Catherine was born in the Republic of Ireland but now resides in South Wales with her husband and two sons.
Despite being published in the Irish Independent newspaper when she was a child, Catherine's writing never saw the light of day again until 2006. After studying science at college, her creative side never disappeared but bubbled away in other pursuits, until the time was right and everything came together for writing.
Catherine is a recent member of Carmel Harrington's Imagine, Write, Inspire writing group and writes for her own pleasure, but wouldn't turn down any offers if some come along!
Catherine has written the first poem for our Christmas 'Flash fiction' and it had me laughing and I'm sure it will have you laughing too!

When shepherds donned their frocks that night
With lipstick and mascara
It gave the wisemen such a fright
And caused a huge palaver.
The angel on the Christmas tree
With lights all shining brightly
And when she felt the need to pee
She squeezed her legs in tightly.
The Grinch began to deck some Halls
They all fell on the holly
He then picked up some coloured balls
And pelted little Polly.
The little drummer boy got lost
When he sought a fix to score
But when he snorted up some frost
It chilled him to his core.
An elf stuck on the window pane
His face looked very lairy
While licking on his candy cane
He flashed the poor Toothfairy.
A pixie up at the North Pole
Shamed herself last Christmas
She supped the eggnog so we're told
Then fell upon her ass.
A piper went to catch a swan
To give the maid-a-milking
He chased it round until the dawn
When his ardour started wilting.
Frosty was a friendly guy
A snowman with his carrot nose
And when he saw the girls go by
Up straight that carrot rose.
When Rudolph he went missing
The elves looked high and low
To find he was with Vixen kissing
With red nose all aglow.
And finally now to Santa Claus
Who comes just once a year
We shouldn't underplay this 'cos
He deserves a massive cheer!
So 'Happy Christmas' one and all
Take time out for each other
Be merry, have yourselves a ball
Just not in front of Mother!
