Mr. Taylor Takes on Target Three days before Christmas And all through the mall Mr. Taylor bought gifts Both big ones and small His family was large Every uncle and cousin He bought up mittens And socks by the dozen At last he found Target Bustling with life He picked out a gift For Judy, his wife As he looked up and down Surveying each line He glanced at the clock It was quarter to nine! The short line wasn't moving The longest no better So he stepped in line three With a necklace and sweater Two crying babes wailed in the cart just ahead Their shrieks caused a pain Deep in Mr. T's head He stood all alone Wondering when he'd be done When someone cried out "No one's no one in line one!" He dashed down the line Only to find at his hip A woman and man Two carts like a ship They pushed him aside Like a seaworthy cutter Removed him from line Like hot melting butter He rushed down to three But the line snaked back To a man in a raincoat With a coughing attack Mr. Taylor then turned To lane number four And prayed that he could Just get out the front door The line how it creeped A snail would go faster Mr. Taylor was sure this was a Christmas disaster When suddenly to his great surprise Lane six opened up Before his wide eyes He ran right a way His spot to take But wilted when he heard "I'm closed for a break!" it took him three hours to reach the cashier and he said as he paid 'Get me outta here!" Every head turned his way As he walked quickly away 'Next year," he declared "I'm shopping in May!" |
