It's a Catalog Christmas





As the holidays approach us I take fingers to keyboard to share my poetic side... A Fitzy original... A poem like no other to share with you my thoughts this holiday season. I call it ...

"A Catalog Christmas"

Hustle and bustle,
Need to be here, got to get there,
Christmas snuck up, it just isn't fair.

From work to the Gym, Schools to the Stores,
Holy shit Christmas has made me a whore.

I can't be everywhere I'm no Claus,
That's it you Bastards, I'm getting catalogs.

For Bob and Jan, Aaron and Pat, I'm just not shopping for you and that's that.

So pick a catalog and fill out the numbers cuz that's what your getting from this Ba-Hum-Bugger.

It's a catalog Christmas
I have no free time, now pick out your gifts, I'm falling behind

Now don't start bitchin' cuz you know what your gettin',
at least it will fit, what can I say I'm no Saint Nick.

It's a catalog Christmas that's it for me, there will be no shopping mall this year for me.

A Catalog Christmas won't be a wreck, so long as I send in the forms and put in a check.

Yes, a catalog Christmas what a great deal saving on time with 2 for 1 deals.

it will all fit cuz you picked it out,
It was nice to see you, now get the Hell out.

All my shopping done, how nice to see,
I just have time to go shopping for me!

This worked out well, I'm in good cheer,
I hope there's good catalogs for us next year.

It's a Catalog Christmas, it says right here,
On page 52 to the right of the bear.

So Merry Christmas to all and Happy Cataloging Next Year

It's not so much the words that make me cry, more the lack of consistent rhyme. What meter are you using, it seems like iambic pentameter wth palpitations. I didn't even look to see what was spelled wrong yet. It is kinda catchy though.
