I do not like advent calendars with beauty products on each day.

Is you know what advent is and you want to celebrate it or to prepare yourself for the birth of Christ assuming that you are a believer then how can you possibly want the advent calendar to have beauty products daily I don’t know whether you get them in packages or whether you are just told the name but it’s in bad taste to my mind

If you’ve no idea what advent is then fine you must wonder sometimes about advent and lent etc etc etc

 

 

 

Do you rinse the soap suds off your face
And wash  your hair with eggs and lemonade?
Do you go to bed  in purple tights
And silken tops that shine in sweet moonlight?
Do you have a dagger in your bag?
And wash your hair with Lucian’s  paint rag?

Would you like to live your life again?
Would you live through  every single pain?
Would you have a mattress on your bed
Made of memory foam and heavy lead?
Would you  let a  pixie cut your hair?
Would you go to Yorkshire for the Fair?

 Would you go on Cruises with a man?
Would you put a tax on  copper pans?
Would you go to Edgware when deceased?
Would you tell me you were very pleased?
Would you  give up dreaming if  betrayed
By people who you knew were  sick, depraved?

Write a letter,send me with the post
Put me in your pocket  if I  boast
Tell me  nuts are good for  breaking teeth
Send me daisies in a funeral wreath
Ask my other if he will come home
Send me to the doctor wrapped in foam
