Lament of the XMAS SHOPPER
. Christmas comes hut once a year, Praise he for that, BUT it’s marly here: . Each night my nest is shattered by dreams Of lists of gifts which grow it '; ’ seems. j ! 'lt’s no good funking the evil day— ; • • ' , One miist go shopping without delay. 'Approach the counters, line up in a queue, ..... 'Stand on one leg and admire the view, V Gaze at the wares and become inspired y/ith bright ideas that can not be acquired. Look in your purse and •come tq earth; ■■■ Don’t make up your mind till you’ve found, what it’s worth. ; yisit the toys and get stunned with surprise ! At the ..marvellous things which dazzle your eyes. With a heartfelt sigh take one last look . And farewell the dolls and just buy a book. Continue the trek from shop to shop-s
Colled little gifts till you’re ready to drop, But when you get home thinking that is the end You’re suddenly aware you ve got heaps more to send. Santa Claus beams and gets thanked—its HIS day; .... But why doesn’t he bring ALL the gifts in his sU>sh? ' — KERJ.F
