The Hustle and Bustle

The hustle and bustle
of the last minute shoppers tonight.
I hope nobody is pepper sprayed or gets in a fight.
The pickpockets are swarming
and the guards are yes too.
I hope on their segways
they don’t run over you.
My presents were bought
and are yes wrapped up tight.
And I probably forgot someone
and won’t know till Christmas night.
The day after Christmas
will start half price sales.
The Valentines candies will be then taking flight.
The Christmas return lines
will yes be real long.
And the smell of spiked eggnog
will no longer be strong.
So I’ll bid you farewell
as I walk out of the mall tonight
and wish that Santa treats you well
when he does take flight.
