Last Minute Shoppers

Getting to the store quick on the double,
their faces look anxious and troubled,
minutes to spare,
pulling out their hair,
caffeine the hustle in their bustle.

You could make a good living writing these limericks, Cheryl. You're the best. Just so funny and true, I love what your pen do. This is another great limerick. Love and joy to you. Have a Merry Christmas.

I wish I could Freddie; but there are much better writers out there than me so the competition would be too much… so glad you liked it and love and joy to you too! Merry Christmas Freddie!:)
