Day After Thanksgiving

T'was the day after Thanksgiving,
When all through the malls
Christmas shoppers were stirring
And running the halls.

The stockings were hung 
On the racks with great care
Everyone just had to buy some,
They were all "on sale"

No one was left nestled
All snug in their beds

They were all at the malls
With big "lists" in their heads.

Shoppers eyes - how they twinkled
When thinking of "Sale" signs,
They packed up their plastic
And dreamed of short "check" lines.

Now K-Mart, now Walmart
Now Target, now Sears
On Gap Stores, on Dillards,
on Lazarus and don't forget Kay Bee.

To the discount stores, to the major malls,
Shoppers - dashed away, dashed away,
Dashed away - All!!
