The flexibility of the Word Processor has allowed the Christmas Red Robin to be replaced by the Christmas Round Robin. This is one which I wrote after receiving three boastful and probably lying letters from people I hardly knew. It was never sent but I was tempted

The Ultimate Round Robin

Christmas is upon us so we felt we had to share
The triumphs we have managed since we wrote to you last year
The business goes from strength to strength, the children are a joy,
we gave a Christmas bonus to the hoards we now employ.

Our daughter, you remember her, has got her Ph.D
I don't know where she gets her brains but it's probably from me
Our youngest son has joined a firm which rules the Internet
And you'd be astounded at the VIPs he's met .

We've finished the extension and it cost two hundred grand
But we had to move the outdoor pool and buy some extra land.
Our indoor pool is fabulous and the sauna is still there
But some guests are impossible for, they don't know what to wear.

We did have trouble with our cook, she said her rooms were bleak
So we got on to Changing Rooms and they'll sort them out next week.
We spent a month in Rio before we went to Spain
but Spain is full of tourists so we won't go there again.

We kept our place in Florida and bought one up in Maine
It has a private landing strip and a hanger for our plane.
We got a Royal Christmas card with love from Chas and Cam
Oh God, I haven't sent them one. Oh what a fool I am.

And now we're off to Aspen with the usual jolly set
But their names would be quite meaningless for I'm sure you've never met.
So do pop in to see us if you're ever down our way
But it might be best to Text us first as we may be out that day.
