"Tis the Season to be shopping And brave the crowds so thick, Sales aplenty so they say-- Your money goes so quick! Time to loose your senses Not time to hid in fear, The fun-est time is back again The Shopping Craze is here! The Holidays demand it To spend more than you make, To show you love more than you can-- It's for the Merchant's sake Hustle, bustle fills the air With shoppers in a flurry, The Parking lots do overflow Walk a mile in the cold--and hurry!!! Or you might opt to stay at home And still go mad, you bet, For E-commerce can break you quick All caught up in their net. "Shop until you drop!" is in Until your credit's shot, But think of all the Bargains "Mong the junk that you have bought! Oh the many gifts galore That we give and receive, "What made them think that I'd like this??? Oh, this I can't believe!!!" Yes it is the Shopping Craze A Fever --that's for sure, That takes long for recovery-- Mostly, the next year!!! |

Yuck! How I hate al the craziness! You really captured the nuttiness, David....I'm sure glad I don't work in retail anymore. Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

David, How easily we are manipulated when that "carrot" of GREAT BUY, LOW, LOW PRICES, Limited QUANITIES, is dangled before us! I enjoy the humor you have infused into this poem but it still represents a sad state of affairs! The Blue Light is now flashing in asile 7, Shoppers! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

David, You haven't experienced the shopper's craze until you've worked at Best Buy on Black Friday. I did it ONCE and it was my last time in retail. lol. You've captured it perfectly, from experience I'm sure. lol. Best |
