Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Holiday Shopping

Cyber Monday’s almost gone
So everyone at Amazon
Can take a minute and a breath;
(I’m sure they must be worked to death!)

But as the holidays approach,
Some frenzied shoppers will encroach
On all the patience of the clerks;
(For out there, there are lots of jerks!)

Let’s hope that stores and online sites
Help customers procure delights
For friends and kin without much grief;
(And after New Year’s – what relief!)

Doug Vinson November 30, 2016 at 5:10 PM Ah yes, we must pray for those in retail during this season. I've never been involved, myself, other than as a shopper, but when the stories of the cashiers, managers, and customer service representatives come out, I hear Kurtz's final words from Conrad's "Heart of Darkness."
