Boxing Day? It can be a bit dull I think. So in a jolly attempt to cheer it all up an bit, I’ve decided to promote our SALE. It’s more stuffed with bargains than your turkey was stuffed with…er…stuffing, and as glittery and exciting as the showiest Christmas tree ever. And how do I tell you about it? Well, I’ve done it before but I think there’s always room for another loose parody of the famous The Night Before Christmas.
This classic was first published in December 1823 in New York and has become a staple of Christmas fans everywhere. Getting the names of the all reindeer is firmly ensconced as a Christmas quiz classic (and no; Rudolph is not there).
So here goes. My take on this old standard, attributed to to two writers, Clement Clarke Moore and Henry Livingston Jr. Thank you both, whoever actually wrote it.
The Day After Christmas
Twas the day after Christmas and everyone slept
So into my study I silently crept
To switch on my laptop, and go to a site
That filled Boxing Day with a shopper’s delight
MowDirect was the site and the SALE was on
Full of bright shiny deals that quite soon would be gone
Last Chances for discounts on wonderful items
A list that goes on and on ad infinitem
Such wonders, such bargains, such products, such deals
They have snow blowers, lawnmowers, one with three wheels
All shimmering, gleaming and all at great prices
From big chunky tractors to smaller devices
There’s the Einhell GC-PT Petrol Grass strimmer
‘Great value‘ one buyer said, beats my old strimmer
Or a fab Hayter Osprey, for truly crisp mowing
Its livery green and its quality showing.
There’s a blower for throwing the snow in the air
And a great Mountfield tractor deal, look if you dare
There are several Hayters, The ‘Rolls Royce of Mowers’
Said one customer. Their standard just never lowers.
I perused all the products for a next season mower
at really great price price, that for now would be lower
and finally chose one in orange and black
A fabulous Comfort-Plus Oleo Mac
I’m sorted, I’m happy, I’m over the moon
So bring on next season, I hope it’s warm soon
‘cos this superstar mower is going to be great
All the customers say it, I can hardly wait.
But there’s still time to grab a great deal if you hurry
Just forget the footie and your turkey curry
Go visit the site where the deals are a must
MowDirect is the place with the names you can trust
Come Mountfield, come Lawnflite, come Hayter so chic
Come Morrison Mowers all sporty and sleek
Come Oleo-Mac and Tanaka. All hail
The splendour of MowDirect’s Pre Season Sale
We’re back on the 2nd! Have a GREAT New Year. Enjoy! See ya. Holly.
