Sleigh bells ring
on the Leon's commercial
which is
followed by
another commercial
Some jeweller with fanned
bills in each hand
surrounded by
dancing girls and Euro beats
We sell mattresses
We sell diamonds
We sell viagara
like it's one big party
Are you listening
when he says
you don't pay until
2010?!
Your feet twitch in bed
like they want to be led
This dance floor filled with gold
and silver toothed men!
In the lane
there are ice patches the
size of Hawaii
A death maze
Piled waste of the
things people wish they had not
bought for
no money down
My teeth chatter
a disco beat
dehydrated throat
high on sugar and
caffeine
In another month
the ice will still remain
and there will be silence
falling from the sky
The snow is glistening
such a beautiful sight
And we ARE happy tonight.
