As she stood by the tree, Maya’s eyes opened wide
There were stars hung all over, with chocolates inside
Tinsel and baubles, with lights wrapped around
And even more presents that lay on the ground
On the shelf by the fire, Dad Place a mince pie
With a nice juicy carrot, So Maya asked “why”?
“You need to leave food for the reindeer”, dad said
“And Father Christmas wants mince pies, to keep himself fed.
Climbing up and down chimneys, All night isn’t fun
And he can’t take a break ,when there’s work to be done
Perhaps you can help?”,dad said with a laugh
“With the Hairy Plug Monster ,Who lives under the bath”
Maya thought for a while
And she smiled and then said
“Maybe I could,”
And went off to bed.
A few hours later
Maya hadn’t slept
So into the bathroom
She silently crept,
The Hairy Plug Monster
Was sat by the soap,
With a floppy red stocking
All tied up with rope
Maya asked once again
“Do you fancy a feed? ”
And the Hairy Plug Monster
Smiled and agreed
“We’ve got Mince Pies, and chocolates
and a huge Christmas Cake
There’s even a turkey
All ready to bake”
So they tiptoed downstairs
and walked through the hall
straight to the kitchen
to the fridge by the wall
Maya opened the door
and they both peeked inside
And the Hairy Plug Monster’s
One Eye opened wide
There on the shelf was a large plate of Jelly
A trifle and pudding and cheese that was smelly
There was mince pies and chocolates
And cranberry jam, Sprouts and Potatoes
And a big piece of ham
The Hairy Plug Monster
Jumped onto the shelf
And in no time at all
He was helping himself
Maya said to her friend
“That’s all we’ve got
Its Christmas tomorrow
And you cant eat the lot”
But the Hairy Plug Monster,
Didn’t reply, he was already munching
On a tasty mince pie
He tried out the pudding, and some of the cake
And then all the sprouts,……….
Yuk…!!!!!!!
What a mistake
Yuk –yuk yuk yuk
What a funny old taste
He didn’t like sprouts
And curled up his face
The hairy plug monster,
Was hungry no more
And sat down and sulked
On the cold kitchen floor,
Maya thought and then said
“I know just what to do”
Father Christmas is coming
He’ll be here very soon
They went to the front room,
And both peeked inside
And The Hairy Plug Monster’s one eye
Opened Wide
There by the fire was a man dressed in red
With a big floppy hat
That was hung from his head.
His belt and his boots were shiny and black
And down by his side was a huge great big sack
Hello Father Christmas, said Maya with charm
And she held put a mince pie at the end of her arm
I’ve come to help and make sure that you’re fed
You can sit down and rest while everyone’s in bed
Father Christmas sat down, with the pie on his knee
While Maya placed presents around the big tree
Thank you said Santa, and started to yawn,
It’s time that I went, for soon it is dawn
Father Christmas got back, on his magical sleigh
Gave a carrot to Rudolph, and then flew away.
The Hairy Plug Monster needed a nap, so he crept back upstairs
And squeezed back through the tap,
His stocking was full of presents and toys
And a small yellow duck - that made a strange noise
“What’s that noise?”, said her dad the next day with a shout
“There’s a noise from the hole where the water runs out”
“You know who that is” Maya said with a laugh
“That’s the Hairy plug Monster…..who lives under the bath”.
