Comping in an Advent Wonderland

Phantasma

Following on from last year's Comping Christmas Carol, I thought I'd write another to 'capture the joyous essence of the festive season' that has been prevalent in this year's advents :-)

To the tune of Walking in a Winter Wonderland - and it works much better if you sing along (in your head or out loud, your choice :-) )

It's the first
Of December
Shudder as
I remember
The sleep-deprived haze
Of twenty-four days
Comping in an advent wonderland.

Tweeting more
Than a bluebird
Can't log-in
What's my password?
I open each door
And lose like before
Comping in an advent wonderland.

<Chorus>

Floundering to find IHG's Snowman
Play a silly game by Molton Brown
Ask me 'Have I won yet' I'll say 'No, man'
The lack of wins and sleep has got me down.

Still awake
At one-thirty
And my screen's
Kinda blurry
I can't seem to click
The right 'Store Front' pic
Captchas are just getting out of hand.

In a vain
Bid to prosper
Even try
Rafflecopter
And Facebook's unliked
The pages I liked
Comping in an advent wonderland.

As for you
Dear Nigella
I can't see
Where the hell ya
Have hidden your pud
I'd quit if I could
Comping in an advent wonderland.

<Chorus>

Fail to win on Bauer's 'Spin the Snowman'
All these comps I feel like I will drown
They tell me comping's fun, l-m-a-o man
But still I persevere and knuckle down.

Christmas Eve
Fingers blistering
Comped for days
Joints are stiffening
I'm going offline
Until Valentine's
Comping in an advent wonderland
Why we do it, I don't understand.

I've had the same hope throughout the advents, so I'm not going to get optimistic now :-)


Thank you all for your kind words though, it's appreciated and I'm glad you've enjoyed it :-)
