The World of Myth Magazine

Now is the season to be jolly
as you buy this year's gifts
with next year's lolly.

Although the idea may be daft
thousands now have an overdraft.
We are but what our gifts have cost,
plainly showing who we love the most,

it isn't the thought that counts anymore
it's what you've spent they won't ignore.
Be they large or be they small
the cost is what defines them all.

You have to surpass what you gave last year,
she'll be expecting a lot I fear.
It won't be enough to give your love,
she'll want a ring in the beak of a dove
