Christmas comes but once a year
Once too much for some like me I fear
All that hustle, bustle and expense
Shoppers searching so intense.
But shoppers take so little time
To notice disabilities like mine
Banging and bumping me out of the way
Just to get stuff they can get any day
Christmas shopping fever has altered their mind
One track only searching for that special ‘find’
And people with a disability are a nuisance to them
‘Get out of my way you silly old men’
Can’t you see your holding me up, and some
I must get more shopping before this day is done
otherwise I’ll miss all the bargains , you understand me
Go play in the traffic I really don’t care that you have a disability
Ah well I think I’ll have a Coffee in Starbucks instead
For out of the way is better than dead
I’ll stay there until shoppings over for you
Yes i’ll be occupying a table I know , but what can you do
I’m past caring what you & others will think
I’ll just be oblivious and slurp up my drink
’cause shopping to me is oh such a curse
And it’s not just from having an empty pensioner’s purse
sitting there watching that madding crowd
Does make me want to shout out ever so loud
Lemmings and sheep are acting like you
Calm down my dears or a heart attacks due
Yes Christmas comes but once a year
I love it of course with family dear
But only when the shopping is done
And then we relax and have us some fun
