All the staff at Boffer
Liked Christmas A lot ….
But the ‘Dragon’ at Boffer,
Did NOT!
The ‘Dragon’ hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don’t ask why. No-one quite knows the reason.
It could be her head wasn’t screwed on quite right
It could be perhaps, her purse strings were too tight
But the Geek thought the most likely reason of all
May have been that her heart was two sizes too small
But,
Whatever the reason,
Her heart or her purse,
The thought of just giving,
Caused the Dragon to curse
The Geek thought for a while,
Then he got an idea!
THE GEEK GOT A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL IDEA!
“I know just what to do!” The Geek laughed in his throat.
And he made a quick Santa Claus hat and a coat
And he chuckled and gave out a loud hearty cough
“Let’s give away gifts and call it FREE BOFF”
“We must give away gifts!” The Geek said with a cheer
“A month until Christmas! It’s practically here!”
The Dragon, she growled, her fingers nervously drumming
Without out the free gifts would the members stop coming!
But, you know, that old dragon was so smart and so slick
She thought up a lie and she thought it up quick!
“We might go out of business! “ The boss Dragon lied,
“If we give away stuff then the business will slide”
And her fib fooled the geek. Then she patted his head.
And she got him the figures that showed him the red.
But the Geek had a plan and he fetched a big cup,
Got a bottle of whisky and kept topping her up!
“Have a drink,” grinned the Geek,
“Think of Christmas my dear!”
“If we give away gifts how the members will cheer”.
The Dragon she puzzled, till her brain got all sore
Then she thought of something she hadn’t before!
“Maybe I,” she thought, “Am a bit of a bore”.
“Maybe Members … perhaps … mean a little bit more!”
And what happened then ….. ?
In the Warehouse they say
That the Dragons small heart
Grew three sizes that day!
And the minute her heart didn’t feel quite so tight,
She decided FREE BOFF might just work out alright!
