Taking A Seasonal Position

Friday and I am in the red

Due to holiday happy hour debt

Created down at the local bar

Celebrating who we are

Thankful and free

Searching for that perfect balsam tree

Enchanting, ever so green

A festive spruced up dream

If you know what I mean

Decorated from heaven to earth

Honoring a special birth

Representing faith

Secure and safe

We cannot wait

For the late

December due date

Parties held, opens conversation gates

Snow job offered, sounding great

At the frozen pond, perfect to skate

Despite the melting economic ice

Dependent on throwing, the lucky dice

Described as ‘hot and nice’

But I ask, “When do I pay the price?”

For what is done

Recreational fun

Gift giving

Making a living

Now habitating down in the cellar

Drinking brew sudsy and yellow

Feeling really good

Spirits providing relief as they should

Command I do another beer

Six pack delivered filled with cheer

Knowing what is near

A new year

Where

I must share

A profitable affair

Where I dare

To say

Real pay

During months dark and grey

I clean up those with a financial mess

Getting them to confess

And find out how they actually passed the business test

Busy being a loitering guest

And pathetic pest

Stuffing our stockings

Mocking

When they see our credit card proclaimed blocking

And told we were in the red

Due to playing Santa Claus and going into unbelievable debt
