CHRISTMAS IS COMING

         Coming to a place near you
         The Christmas show is on it's way
         Complete with all the thrills and spills
         Of trying to keep your debt at bay
         No one must be cast adrift
         For this is when you prove yourself
         To be the loving, caring soul
         Who likes to share your meagre wealth.

         You have a list of all the names
         Of friends and relatives you know
         Because they're sure to buy for you
         The strain of keeping up does show
         Perhaps they're happy with the thought
         That some one cares enough to send
         Glad tidings of The Saviours birth
         The One on who we all depend.

         So let us radiate the truth
         Of what this time is all about
         A baby born of meagre means
         Who lived to serve the down and out
         With all the money that we waste
         The greed and gluttony portrayed
         Brings shame upon The Son of man
         His life and work we have betrayed.
