Who's that knocking on our door tonight?
Debt collectors, (those pests that we've ignored)
Yuletide woes being sung by my spouse
as we pull shades, and douse the lights!
Everyone knows a turkey and some mistletoe
could help to make the season bright
But we'll be eating pork and beans, 'cause our pocketbooks are lean
Oh! We're out of Tums!!......The house could blow tonight !!!
They say that Santa's on his way
But our petty cash won't jingle much today
So this mother hen is going to cry
Because her hungry chicks won't have an egg to fry!
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase....
To folks from one to ninety two
If the recession....is behind your depression...
Merry Christmas .. You're not alone!
..........................................................................................................

Imagine your name on a Hollywood Boulevard star.
As a glamorous doll in the movies, you could go far.
Does nature permit women to look as good as you?
I can just see you up on the screen in plain view.
Your sweet image will be everywhere as a pinup honey.
Studio executives will be counting their future money.
You can be a marquee name everybody will know.
So come on, sweetheart. Why don’t you give it a go?
