Mr and Mrs Vulnerable
The nice old dears
Have not seen much of anyone
Since March this year
Except the fella with the Tesco van
The DPD delivery man
Her next door, whose name is Anne
Who dropped them off some beer
But when they heard there was an armistice
For Christmas friends and relatives
They bought a tree and wrapped some gifts
Full of good cheer
It’s Christmas with the Vulnerables
It’s the most wonderful
Time of the year
Now, poor old Mrs Vulnerable
Has a little trouble
With her breathing
But the doctor ain’t seen her
She blames it on advancing years
A health and safety-free career
It’s been the same for all her peers
Who call it emphysema
But she’s invited all the family round
Ordered in a turkey crown
They’ve had a Christmas bubble count
And no-ones got a fever
So, it’s Christmas with the Vulnerables
It’s the most wonderful
Time of the year
They’re reckon it’s OK to ask
Everyone to wear a mask
Don’t want this one to be their last
Christmas (Whamageddon!)
So Little Sal and Baby Dan
Will have to santise their hands
And try hard not to hug their nan
Like biological weapons
Fingers crossed and wish them well
A Christmas with full sense of smell
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Let’s hope they all can get on
It’s Christmas with the Vulnerables
It’s the most wonderful
Time of the year
