X Shopping

Christmas shopping
Less and less, I like being near people 
The café was full of people talking about
How expensive everything is
Buy less is my answer, prices will fall
Until you can afford to buy things you like
To a reduced price 
Businesses react to demands by putting up
To rake in when the going is favorable 
Wait till the market is sated, then pay less
Don’t be a slave to trends here today
Adverts tell lies about their great product
Nothing ever works, they say it does 
If not, whatever it is, it normally breaks easily 
Santa Claus was a port wine-drinking man 
From Amsterdam making us into silly fools 
The Ideal life
