It’s that time of year
Not the time with Christmas cheer
No, the time we usually all dread and fear
But one silver lining
One diamond worth mining
Is the check in your mailbox you just might be finding
It’ll say, “hi, how are you you?”
And you’ll say, “better now”
It’ll say, “how you gonna spend me?”
And you’ll say, “Oh, I’ll tell you how.”
.
I’m going to go shopping,
Maybe for clothes, but mostly food
I’m going to fill my damn cupboards with anything that can be chewed
I’ll pull out all the recipes I put on hold for my budget
And in regards to my healthy diet, I’ll make room to fudge-it.
.
I’ll probably get a haircut WITH a shampoo
And when they ask if I want a blow dry, I’ll say, “throw that in too.”
I’ll take myself out to dinner and order dessert
I’ll tip the waiter so nicely he’ll think I’m a flirt
.
I’ll probably buy myself some books and see a few movies
I’ll buy a new pair of shoes I think are pretty groovy
I’ll go out with my friends and buy them all a drink
Then I’ll get home a little tipsy and lay down and think…
.
I should probably save this
And then I probably will
I could probably spend a little
But should be cautious still
.
I’ll stress and I’ll mull and I’ll undoubtedly overthink
I’ll make lists and run figures and I’ll pour myself a drink
Then I’ll make some room here and make some room there
Save some, spend some, and hopefully have some to spare
.
I’m not saying I’m right, I’m not saying I’m wrong
I’m not saying you should listen or sing my same song
I’m just saying we need balance and a probably a little discipline
We can be frivolous and smart and order takeout Italian
.
So here’s to you refund, I can’t wait to meet you
I can’t wait to shop you and save you and eat you
We’ll have some good times, I can promise you that
First order of business: raising the thermostat.
Love it!
Thank you! 🙂
