The Buying Frenzy
The buying frenzy has begun
And every store’s competing.
You’d better hurry up; these discount
Prices will be fleeting.
For those of us who hate to shop
‘Cause holidays demand it,
It doesn’t pay to moan about
How much we cannot stand it.
If we were smart we could have bought
Our presents months ago,
But good intentions somehow buck
Against the status quo.
And so we venture into stores
Among the crowds that crush
With pledges to ourselves next year
We’ll beat the Christmas rush.
