Poem
A once a year nightmare A time of cheer A debt riddled fantasy Of which we cant stay clear The gift list keeps increasing The ability to pay for everything decreasing The rush to overspend exhausting Does Xmas need postponing? Arms and legs are aching Wallets are shrieking Shoppers are grumbling Store shelves are emptying Who will do all this wrapping ? Anxiety levels keep rising You wonder if you bought everything The turkey still needs ordering The family list still needs negotiating The is no time for sleeping With all this worrying Will they appreciate all your planning? You wish you were on a beach sunbathing Sipping rum and chilling All you want is time to rest But there is so much you haven't done yet Will Santa be upset If you haven't done your best ? You hope you receive an expensive gift Fingers crossed You might just get that special something You have been hinting daily So you hope they have been listening Xmas is after all about receiving after giving What will you do if Santa is not forthcoming? The time for carol singing is approaching Your voice as usual needs tuning This year you hope to do more than mumbling As usual the vicar will come visiting Demanding you come listen To him preaching that Xmas is Not about gift giving You wonder on which planet He has been living How much more of this will you be taking? The church bells will start ringing For it is the season for celebrating Hopefully snow will start falling On Xmas day morning A day you are dreading Will someone help[ reduce your worrying? It is not all bad It is after all a one day affair Just hope all goes well And enjoy your time With those you hold dear Thank god and Santa for everything Despite all the over spending
