Christmas is coming ....

Christmas is coming
and his wallet's getting flat.
Who'll drop a fiver
in the old man's hat?
If you can't spare a fiver
then drop a 50p
or he'll eat the chocolate faeries
off your Christmas tree!
Christmas is coming
and the shopping malls are packed
with people looking lively
and people looking whacked.
They're bustling and they're muscling
and not an inch they'll give.
Two hours of yuletide shopping
and you lose the will to live!
Christmas is coming,
you've survived the festive strain.
For all the children in your life
you've jousted hordes again.
Not because you must
and not to win applause;
to simply show that God and Christmas
speak through Santa Claus.

If anything, I can joust hordes again and again.
I like the poem but in Santa's defense, he really is a very gentle and generous man. I met him the other day...really!

ah, yes, the mess of Chrissy and the simple themes at the heart of all the conspicuous consumption and ritual gift-giving. Have a good one, mate.

| Loving how you took a well known nursery rhyme seed and grew it into this humorous poem. I don't think I can read anymore of your work...I am getting quite jealous! : ) |
