The Blight Before Christmas

‘Twas the week before Christmas when all through the land
all the creatures were scurrying like a one man band.
With the days getting shorter and the ‘big one’ close at hand,
the average consumer was in debt ten grand.


"But all was okay for it’s well understood
that salvation only comes when the economy’s good.
And to prove that ‘Trickle-Down’ works as well as it should
they were all asked to spend what they possibly could."
