Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming

A Poem by Gee
"

Dusted off for the festive season.....Over priced,over rated,and coming to you in the very near future.....

"
Christmas is coming
the Easter eggs are out,
" book your summer holidays "
travel agents shout.
Buy a leather three piece
get a foot stool free,
everywhere you turn
there's a place to buy a tree.

Inflatable santas,
reindeer with red noses,
florists selling wreaths
and dead expensive roses.
Supermarkets crammed
trolleys overflowing,
bank accounts empty
overdrafts growing.

Parties in the office
inhibitions dumped,
grown men crying
secretary's humped.
Pantomime season
" behind you" shout the kids,
" Z “ list stars
whose careers have hit the skids.

Joseph, Mary, Jesus
why's it their big day
aren't they just characters
in the primary school play ?
Christmas is coming
we'll pay for it next year,
kids getting way to much
nothing now too dear.

I love your no-nonsense description of the typical holidays steeped in materialistic obsession. This is why I do NOT participate in the madness . . . no decorations, never had a tree, etc. What makes your message especially sardonic is your final stanza . . . very few people have the nerve to mock the "real reason for the season"!! I love your sassy ways & this really hits my funny bone. Good rhyme & rhythm thru-out! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

you certainly are observant, this is Christmas, welcome to the chaos. really good and fun poem and so much truth. I was thinking of picking out a particular line I liked best, but each time I found one, another even better and funnier appeared. so, I liked them all.

Cheers,appreciate your kind review
Materialism and greed are quite appropriate for what is essentially a pagan holiday.
Only true Christians care about the birth of Christ; the rest give it meaningless lip-service.
A scathing and accurate portrayal of what the season has been for a very long time.

How parents with 4 or 5 children can afford to get even a part of what their kids ask for amazes me. Coming from a very large family, we were taught to spend within our means. Why not try giving the kids the gift of Jesus at an early age. We have kids popping into church asking just who Jesus is? Valentine

Yes, I'm not a fan of the commercialization of the sacred event of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As you say, people spend too much money, and don't even believe in God. It's crazy.
