The yule lads

 

Can you here them running
Between the white dryad
Tis winter time for mischief
The time for those yule lads

But GrĂ½la, she is reeling
Her lads, less troublesome
In modern days of living
their antics equal none

She asked of me a favour 
Dear Audrey, have you time?
To update all my yule lads
with something more refined

The 13 yule lads of today.
Need a modern twist
Now I'll introduce them all
In this modern list


 Furclodder, wakes pets at stupid hours

Slungbung, blocks drains in bathroom showers

Batteries gone? Blame Dura'cell

Multiplugger stole the plugs as well.

Odd'desock, steals every last sock

Snapperwrapper, replaces chocolates with rocks

Redge'veg, steals everything but sprouts

At three in the morning,  the Rando'lad shouts

Slyply, nicks loo rolls and leaves one sheet

PurplePercy, steals the purple in the quality street

Nessdepresso steals coffee, and cocoa and tea

Sly'wifi. Changes passwords to those you can't see

Dangleping nicks Chrismas balls

Now who you'll blame when the yule lads call
