Here come the Adverts …
it’s early November,
our Halloween pumpkin is losing its splendour,
and suddenly there!
on the wide screen,
Christmas trees sparkle and Santas are seen.
The snow-scenes are charming
though no one seems chilly,
their jumpers are jolly, their fashions are frilly.
The dancers are skipping
down glittery stairs
to show us their lovely new tables and chairs.
The meals make us dribble.
A wise Fairy buys
a glossy great turkey, a mountain of pies,
and sumptuous cakes,
which are bargains, so cheap,
no one will ever lose money. Or sleep.
Elves juggle gadgets
we simply MUST buy,
Cute little children bring tears to the eye.
A heart-rending lyric
makes mighty men howl,
and here’s a sad penguin! Please pass me the towel.
Here come the Adverts
from magical lands,
where crackers go POP and the snowmen hold hands.
Where everyone smiles
and where life is a dream …
while I check the date. Then I whimper
and
SCREAM
