THE HOUSEWIFE’S CHRISTMAS

Christmas is a’coming with the bustle and the noise
The shops are all a’bulging with the presents and the toys.
The scarlet coated Santa’s appearing in their grottoes
The crackers piled up in the shops with their quite awful mottoes.
I struggle in and out the crowd, my wallet getting thinner
I’m wondering, just wondering if there’ll be enough for dinner.

I must not forget the turkey, the pudding and the port
And lots and lots of other things I really should have bought.
The carousel that’s turning in the middle of the market
Helps to make my head spin--“Oh the car! Where did I park it?”
No need to panic, I just thought, I came in on the bus
I wish that I could stop myself from making such a fuss.

But then on Christmas morning it will really seem worthwhile
As the children find their presents, I may even start to smile.
To see their wide eyed wonder as they find each shiny toy
It’s a world of great excitement for each little girl and boy
And though I’ll be exhausted by the time my work is through
I just wouldn’t miss a Christmas, and I hope that you wont too.
