Well-worn festive tunes
Blare out
Hapless
faces
Stare out
Faces strained
Bemused,
Confused
Lists
gripped tight
Pens
ticking or deleting
Then onward
Loaded
trolleys
Wildly
steering
Zig zagging
Aisle to
aisle
Every item
Must be had
Gin for her
Beer for
dad
Chocs and
cakes
Chops and
steaks
Turkey,
stuffing
Nuts and fruit
Frozen this
Prepacked
that
Pop and
juice
Something’s
loose
Everything
ticked
On the
tight gripped list
Nothing
missed
Merry
Christmas wished
Hundreds of
pounds
Of
Christmas bought
The
festivities can begin
Relax in
the knowledge
The shops
will only be shut
For twenty-four
hours
