Yet again - rain,
shopping 'til dropping
christmas shop hopping.
Spending never ending
plas-tic ben-ding,
bags; choc-a-block,
a clock - race,
quick festive embrace,
weighed-down wear a frown,
up - and - down - town,
all merry and replete,
got aching feet?
Succumb to toy drum -
buy flashing bow-tie - why?
Forget wet and cold -
Everything's red and gold!
Consumerism uncontrolled.
