After the feast, and the gluttony, after the nap on the couch,
with the belt opened a bit, just one more notch
A turn to look at the paper, or an advertisement or two
A chance to look a your pocket book, to see what you can afford to do
It’s shopping madness time, when sales are abundant all around
Meant to entice, your imagination, as your feet hit the ground
Out the door, some with kids, some with others in tow
A plan to attack the needs of Christmas,
and map to show which way to go
Oh the deals and the steals, that one must have
With feet aching, but still partaking, fun for all to be had
Trinkets and doodads, that could glisten from your tree
Clothing that will fit after New Year’s resolutions,
you just wait and see!
Or maybe a fishing pole, or a scope for your gun
Some new tools, that aren’t needed, but needed, just for fun
Even through the crowds, and a bit of squeezing in and out
To reach the prize, you’ve given thought to,
it’s what it’s all about
Like Halloween with bags of goodies, soon to be adorned
One can’t wait to show the bounty, upon arriving home
Then lay back, and wonder, just what you have done
Have you accomplished all your shopping goals. . .maybe not,
but it sure had been fun🌟
