Ab Carols - Christmas Morning

[DTCwordfan]

Happy Christmas to you and we have made it through with the AB Carols, so sign off today.

There were a number of names that popped up with Ed's greeting thread, so Ding Dong Merrily on High for them.

Secondly, a carol to our birthday girl today, Murraymints - so happy birthday, minty. xx

Thirdly, a carol classic for all to hum along with this morning.

A link for those of you who wish to follow the trail backwards over the AB 25 carols: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1200453.html

Finally, may I wish you all health, happiness and fortune for the year to come, the balance of the three elements you individually know...Happy Christmas yo each of you.

Carol 23

Ding Dong! morrob on high
With grumpyman the thorbs are ringing
Ding, dong! stealthy the sky
Is sancho-ed with crapmemory singing
Gloria, daftgrandad in excelsis

E'en so catgirl below, below
Keenonhist bells be swungen
And cg-o, jmr-o, i-o
By chipchopper in dorset be sungen
Gloria, Clarissa in excelsis

Pray ye vakayu prime
Your alice chimes, ye follyfancier ringers
May ye tearinghair the kitty rime
Your Lynda song, ye everyman singers
Gloria, Robinia in excelsis.

Carol 24

Away with a Ranger,
No sheets for Her bed
Our wee little Minty
Laid down Her sweet head

The stars in Wendi’s sky
Looked down where She lay
Our wee little Minty
Asleep on 2sp’s hay

Kat-like goats are bleating
BirthDay Gal, she wakes
An arm around her
No snoring He makes

She loves him, our Goatherd
Looks down from the sky
And stay by his side,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near her, O Tony,
We ask Thee to stay
Close by Minty - forever
Leash him or he may stray.

Bless all the dear ABers
In Ed’s suspension or care
Watches the goings-on
Thy lives we all share.

Carol 25

Hark the baffled ABers sing
"Glory to the LieInKing!
Wine on Food and Drink, NoMercy mild
R and S is reconciled"
Joyful, all ye Women rise
Using ummmm’s one line replies
With the ABer host proclaim:
"Ed is living in Kettering"
Hark! The baffled ABers sing
"Glory to the LieInKing!"

Ed by the multitude adored
Ed the everlasting Gnome!
Late as always behold Him come
Banana and a yellow broom
Hats in red the Gnomehead see
Hail his ingenuity
With ABers that peacefully dwell
Venator, the Papal Manual
Hark! The baffled ABers sing
"Glory to Suspending!"

Hail the field-born Princes of Fleece!
Hail the Sqad of Righteousness!
Cures and banter to all He brings
Ibuprofen in His wings
Mild our Coven, their antics famed
Born that man may be maimed
Born to chase the Goats on earth
Born to give Excelsior worth
Hark! The baffled ABers sing
"Glory to, err, LieInKing!"

Come, Desire of AB nations, come,
Fix in us Thy Answerbank;
Rise, AB gal's conquering Seed,
Bruise in them the Trollish hedge.
Now display thy saving power,
Ruined threads now Owd restored;
Now in mystic union join
Thine to ours, and ours to Thine.
Hark! the Baffled ABers sing,
"Glory to the reborn Ed!"
