The Installment Christmas
Poor Sisyphus, unlucky cuss,
Was doomed to roll for aye
A heavy stone up hill alone
Day after weary day;
And for each yard gained toilsomely
That blamed old stone would roll
back three.
But after all, his task was small
Compared with mine, that's clear
I'm paying yet with deep regret
On gifts I bought last year;
And now it's time which gives me
pain
To start the endless stunt again.
