Christmas on a Catalogue

[Worldlife]

From a colleague at Mrs W/L's office:-



Christmas on a Catalogue

No laughing matter, it ain’t a joke,
Somehow it seems you're always broke,
So it’s Christmas on a catalogue.

Even in the sales, your credit card fails,
Feel’s like you’re going off the rails,
So it’s Christmas on a catalogue.

You start work at the crack of dawn,
But you still find that you’re overdrawn,
So it’s Christmas on a catalogue.

The bailiff's banging at your door,
But you can’t pay them anymore,
So it’s Christmas on a catalogue.

The kid’s want that, the kid’s want this,
A lottery win would be real bliss,
So it’s Christmas on a catalogue.

Buy it now and pay in May,
But you're still paying through the nose anyway,
So it’s Christmas on a catalogue.

Order your gifts on the telephone line,
And hope that they will arrive in time,
So it’s Christmas on a catalogue.

Look out for the buy one get one free,
Catalogue shopping for the whole family,
So it’s Christmas on a catalogue.
