BLEAK HOUSE HOLIDAY MEAL

Suddenly, our Christmas dinner is looking quite bleak this year,

We can't afford our eggnog, or even ice cream and root beer,

There is not gonna be meat,

Just bread and gravy, we'll heat,

By singing Christmas Carols, we'll pretend the good time are here.

MY HOLIDAY ECONOMIC COLLASPE

I cannot afford Halloween candy,

I for sure,  can't afford Christmas brandy,

Thanksgiving?  I won't eat,

Can't afford bread or meat,

My economy, it's sure a dandy.

HIGH GROCERY PRICES: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY

I drove over to the big box grocery store, and what's up?

I can't afford a meager breakfast, lite lunch, or simple sup,

I'll layoff most of the kids,

Sell my home, I will take bids,

I'll set our dog free, so starving cubs, can't gas grill the pup.

I'M A BIG SHOT, WITH A SUIT AND SHOWER CURTAIN

I went to Canada to buy a green curtain, for my bathroom shower,

A Canadian shower curtain, shows I have a real super power,

For I fill a great need,

I sell suits that are tweed,

My tweed stores are gaining market share, every minute, every hour.

THERE WERE THREE SHIPS COME SINKING

There were three ships come sinking; they were sinking on Christmas Day,

There were three ships come sinking, pulled down by monsters in the bay,

For the little girls and boys,

There went the promised Christmas toys,

Christmas ruined by tariff monsters, who stole the fun, away.😭😭😭😭😭

HOME 4 SALE

I bought an  expensive piece of lake frontage land,

A million dollar mortgage, I signed with my hand,

I live barely week to week,

Higher wages, I had to seek,

Just now at work, they told me, I'm screwed and I'm canned,

My Pandemic Struggles

The pandemic took me from riches to rags

I was cran-coloring pictures on crayon colored on bags,

And, my love ran off with some bloke,

Took my hard candy and Coke,

Now, I'm just tweeting all day with hashtags. 

MY GROCER, HIGH PRICES AND ME

I went to the grocer but his prices were high,
I said with my small budget those prices wouldn't fly,
The grocer said, "my costs have gone wild,
I built a new mansion that's styled,
My builder gave me a similar reply."

WAITING FOR MY TRICKLE-DOWN

I'm waiting for my trickle-down raise,

Although, my boss says a raise would be out of phase,

For long, long before,

I'll get pink-slipped out the door,

Because trickle-down signs the end of my days.
