Back To School

Stores are kinda busy,
people are on a shopping spree, 
young and old they may be 
they all want something free. 

Then a message, pleasing to see,
reads: "buy one, take one for free". 
An old woman asked the saleslady: 
"Can I take only the free?"

A young salesman had a gimmick,
something difficult to mimic,
he was selling two books for eighty 
but if one, it's only forty.  

Two customers quarrel 
for they want the same towel;
The manager just do not care 
'cause stocks are everywhere. 

Then an old man in a wheelchair 
came looking for the bartender, 
he was ordering a glass of beer 
for he thought it was a bar.

Shoppers young, shoppers old,
some are warm, some are cold;
There is noise everywhere 
'cause "back to school" in here.
