Any season,
any sale,
My natural
habitat? Retail.
Paris to Shenzhen,
Hong Kong to New York
Shopping,
for me, is more than a walk
On a
Saturday afternoon;
It’s my anchor,
my flight to the moon.
Sixteen hour
trips around Asian stalls
Twelve hour
adventures around outlet malls
(In the
States or the UK – I just need to hear
“Shall we
go...?” My bag is always near).
October now
closes with staff on their knees
As they
tinsel and bauble their Christmas trees
Only three
more pay days until January –
Or until Christmas
Eve, for the unwary.
Pantomime
celebs have their contracts ready
For switching
on the lights...ready...steady...
Sit back
and relax, my shopping’s mostly done,
Time to
enjoy the urgent pre-24th sales
While watching
the skaters in the cold crisp air;
An
additional benefit of shopping all year.
PS - Boots have another 1200 points on a £50 spend event on 31st October. If you spent on October 10th, you should have received another 500 points voucher, too; check your receipts.
