Presents wrapped in credit cards
tinsel made of gold
buy them a Ferrari
even pay for cold.
No room at the inn
it's double for a room
you can sleep inside the manger
I'll charge you for a broom.
Frankincense on offer
what on earth is myrrh ?
Slippers are for sheikh's
made from oil rich fur.
My bank accounts in red
the bailiffs got my name
do you know what, I don’t care
next year I’ll do the same.
Author notes
Prompt :
Tinselled trees are bright and glowing.
Bankruptcy leaves you broke and owing.
