A Sad Christmas

I wanted a Corvette
I haven't seen it yet
I wanted a Rolex
I am perplexed
Another year
No Rolex here
I'm beginning to fume
Got no trip to Cancun
Everything I asked for
Never made it thru my door
I wanted a diamond ring
But haven't seen a thing
I expected a mink coat
Or a speed boat
Something sexy and lacey
Perhaps a spending spree at Macey's
No candy, sweets, wine or beer
Nothing to smile about, nothing to cheer
I haven't bought a gift in many a year 
Why should I, no present ever comes here
So here I sit, in the middle of the rug
Who needs Christmas, Bah Humbug!
