Spencer Robertshaw with 'Jingle Bells', the latest poem in his 'Evidently Spencertown', reflects upon Christmas
Article
Christmas is coming my bank account is flat
Please put some money in my non-existent hat
Turkey is gobbling covered in goose fat
But not at my table the luxuries are at
Consumer heaven the shops all wring their hands
Turning the lights on minor celeb and brass band
What's the latest gadget an apple or a game
Fighting for the top spot it's all in the name
Long queue at the pound shop for your bargain goods
Last decade's toys for a quid there's the rub
Will they know you're tight or will they just enjoy
The Korean Action Man or shiny Barbie toy?
James Bond on the TV, Slade on the radio
Do They Know It's Christmas?
The Royal Variety Show
Then it's all over until another year
But if you're lucky
You can drown it out with beer!
