December is here again
How fast time has flown!
It’s count-down to Christmas day
And my mind is blown.
Blown at the speed of time
Yes, how fast it’s rolling by
And of course, I’m getting older
And nearer my time to die.
You may say I am morbid
And I guess you would be correct
But that this pertains to everyone
One cannot realistically reject.
Every day brings us nearer
To our time of departure
And this should be borne in mind
As an appointment in the future.
Hopefully, and thus I pray
We will see another Christmas
And hopefully, if it be God’s will,
It would not be our last.
I need to give a caution
Regarding this Christmas time,
Remember it is the silly season
So keep this in your mind.
Keep your wits about you
Especially when in Bridgetown,
Try to be prudent in your spending-
Prices are not coming down.
Rather, they’re getting higher
And we’re paying more for less
And the quality is not like before-
It surely is not the best.
Be on your P's and Q's
Maintain your personal space,
Do what you must do discreetly
And avoid the rush and haste.
Look out for the con men,
They are smarter and bolder
And don’t be afraid, I caution you,
To glance over your shoulder.
Carefully guard the dollars
January payday will drag,
Don’t buy the most expensive things
Just to have the right to brag.
Life happens after Christmas
So, do not be carried away
As though it is your very last fling
On your final day.
Be safe this Christmas season
Be wise and use commonsense,
And try as much as is possible
Not to take offense.
All kinds of accidents occur
During the Christmas season
And it is a known and proven fact
That silliness is the reason.
