GK’s Peek at Drivetime’s Week – 20/12/13

'Twas the week before Christmas, when all through Northants
Vendors did vend, shoppers scuttled like ants
Butchers battled with turkeys and strung chipolatas
Kids readied their stockings, mums readied their garters

And  all of the time, the weather played foul
The rain spattered down and the wind it did howl
Posties picked and packed parcels, late into the night
And Jules broke the news - Christmas may not be white

But still life continued, our whole county spanning
Like Northampton Uni found out it got planning
And Kettering motioned to stop HS2
Rob announced he'd discovered a wedding venue

The Government talked of an airport extension
Though which one was still something under contention
And like that fast train, some cried, "Finanancial fudge it!"
When most local councils then saw cut in budget.

But not to be downcast, ensuring grins beckoned
Rob said, "Think of Bolt... Try to beat sixteen seconds!"
And he spread out our smiles, like a prism refractor
With knick knacks competing to win Xmas Factor

Which had more success than his call for invites
To go and switch on someone's Christmassy lights
But that's by the by. Folks, the die has been cast
For if things aren't posted, you've now missed first class

This week before Christmas, with five days to go
As we finish our shopping, enjoying no snow
Let's wish Rob good luck and a Christmas soooooooo pleasant
If he gives his betrothed a joint Birthday/Yule present
