Big Sales Day After Christmas

On Boxing Day the malls At twelve noon The parking lot filled No more space for cars The malls doors are locked People line up waiting For the doors to open Rushing in then searching For something on sale It is a mad house this day Some returning gifts unwanted Others looking for great sales Now tired the people go Off to the food court Tired and hungry Needing food and coffee As a pick me up needed Before they start again
