When it comes to Christmas shopping seems like there's no chance of stopping. "Deck the halls", repel all boarders, "what the heck?", though can't afford 'er. 'Tis the season to be spending, "Must have items" ,never ending. Knick-knacks, doo-dads, by the score are soon amassed outside my door, sir. "Buy" the dickens, christmas carols, and some intimate apparel. (for the wife ,just to reward 'er, last years' dust-mop kinda bored 'er)! Gew-gaws , gadgets , even gizmos, (it's not Christmas 'til you buy those). Bankruptcy? though rushing toward 'er even wise men have ignored 'er. Sugar plums that dance , I get it ,out of cash, just buy on credit, nest-eggs, pensions,"IRAS" stored fer rainy days,spent, now I'm poorer, than that pair that once sought shelter, my star lead me helter-skelter everyplace there was a store fer everything and then some more sir. Cash and carry, do not tarry, Jesus, Christmas,Moe and Larry, Must have lost my flippin' gourd-er, to a higher shopping order! |

I think I'll print this out and give a copy to everyone of my list! Then they'll know why they aren't getting anything else!  You've got a first-rate wit going there for you, Doc! I love it! |

Imagine my shock A dollarless Doc! Alms for the poor did I hear say? Well my old friend To you I do send These credit cards I too can’t pay. So, Spend! Spend! Spend! Till the day’s they call our end And the interest To the devil we pay For now tis the season That we must make the economy turn And let the money burn What holes it may In pockets empty Far from cheep For what is free We cannot wrap under the tree Lo, it be what we most truly need Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All ----- Happy Holidays to you my friend! Good to know you're still about. Hope you don't mind my little addition. C-ya round! |

passing shadows, Thank you, actually, I do very little of the shopping/spending, but, between my wife and I, we do our best to keep the economy going! Sunshine, Thank you, I may just follow that advice! Sy, Thank you my friend,'tis better to be spreading glee,than on a constant spending spree. Denise, Thanks ,at least I've not spent all my humor yet. Drew, Hey, my ol' buddy! Sogreattohearfromyou! Ah , new word!.And a happyholidaystoyoudrew. Ha , another!
