Santa Claws Is Coming To Town

Santa Claws Is Coming To Town By Elton Camp Every year when Santa makes his annual trip The season and its traditions some need to skip The significant financial drain that it does create Have caused many the holiday season to berate For it is financially that they will be floored Due to buying gifts that they can ill afford “Joe buys an expensive gift for me every year. Unless I get him one, he’ll be offended I fear.” The hapless victim figures how much to spend And thus get through gift-giving season again Giving gifts freely is what people should do And certainly not because they are expected to Greedy big business is largely the one to blame For the monster that holiday season became I know, to some, this poem won’t be a pleaser And they will attack and even call me Ebenezer But “Bah, humbug” is a pretty good thing to say About what has become a crassly commercial day
