Default xmas shopping - is it to early ? and is there a divide between the rich and poor ?

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO CHRISTMAS SHOP ?

in a little street,
where dose flow the pound coin,
is turning on the Christmas lights,
is the 1st of November a right move or a pain in the groin.
i can see the benefit,
the shops will have a early revenue,
the draw back is,
it will be a longer Christmas menu.
time's are hard,
we are meant to be in a very tough recession,
but letting us Christmas shop early,
is stupid,its theJoe's confession.
i had a late night,
god my head was very sore,
but someone on BBC reported, that Rowan Williams said,
its about time we take from the rich and give to the poor.
and this thought entered,
into my Christmas shopping dispute,
because only the rich can afford this,
the poor have nothing to contribute.
i think if every job paid,
then there would be less of a divide,
money into the economy,
and a full year round Christmas shopping experience this would provide.


(HELLO EVERYONE ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD, AS YOU CAN SEE I CAN NO LONGER WRITE MY NUT CASE POEMS ON MY FAVE SHOW BIG-BROTHER, BECAUSE IT IS A LOAD OF S???. SO I AM TRYING TO OCCUPY MY HEAD WITH THE NEWS AGAIN. I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THE SHOPS ARE GOING TO TRY AND GET CHRISTMAS STARTED EARLY BY STARTING THE CHRISTMAS SELLING EARLY TO HOPEFULLY BOOST THE ECONOMY. WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA ? UN TILL YOU SEE THE DiVIDE IN WHAT PEOPLE EARN, YES I CAN UNDERSTAND EVEN RICH PEOPLE ARE FINDING IT HARDER IN THE-ESE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES BUT TRUST ME, THE POOR ARE NOT FINDING IT HARD BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET BY AND ONLY JUST SCRAPE BY. TH ATS WHY I FEEL THE SOLUTION IS TO VASTLY PUT UP THE MINI-UM WAGE SO THAT EMPLOYERS ARE NOT MAKING YOU WORK FOR PEANUTS WHILE THEY ARE MILLIONS. I ALSO MASSIVELY RESPECT ROWAN WILLIAMS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH FOR SAYING WE NEED A ROBIN HOOD TAX? IE TAKE FROM THE RICH AND GIVE TO THE POOR, I UNDERSTAND SOME MAY NOT FEEL THIS IS NOT FARE BUT I WOULD SAY ITS DOUBLY UNFAIR TO TAKE FROM THE POOR AND GIVE TO THE RICH WHICH IS SO CLEARLY HAPPENING NOW, TRUST ME, IT IS NO EASY WALK GETTING BY ON BENEFITS. OR HAS THEJOE GOT IT WRONG AS USUAL ? MAYBE WE NEED TO CUT BENEFITS EVEN MORE ? WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO DO A LIFE SWAP WITH THEJOE ? PS THE EASIEST PART OF MY LIFE IS PUTTING THESE NUT CASE POEMS TOGETHER, THE DIFFICULTY IS FINDING SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER 23 HOURS AND 58 MINS OF EACH DAY.)

No-one cares about your poems. You need to put it in Creative Writing.

*sigh* this forum would be amazing without you. <3
