The Spirit of Giving 

I don’t really need, an electronic whatzit,

Or a plastic thingamajig

I’m not into watching TV,

So I don’t need one twice as big.

There are people living on the streets,

Shivering in the cold,

Some aint got enough to eat,

Some are sick and old.

There are critters, lost and hungry,

In bad need of a home,

Out of sight and out of mind,

Through darkened streets they roam.

One less plastic thingamajig,

Can save a lost kitten from the street,

One less big screen TV,

Could let a hundred families eat!
