Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

Retail Christmas

It's two weeks till Christmas
And the store is a zoo.
The customers are grumpy
And I guess we are too.

Whatever they're after 
Has already been sold.
If all the tinsels silver,
You can bet they want gold.

The cashiers are all working
As fast as they can.
Would serve the shoppers right
If we just up and ran.

In retail it's hectic
This time of the year
So no matter what happens
Don't let them see fear.

The one day we're closed
Will be Christmas Day
And we've all asked Santa
For an increase in pay.

James Fraser December 18, 2010 at 2:36 PM You ladies who work in these stores and having to cater for these nutters of shoppers should be given a medal. Christmas is so lovely, shopping for Christmas, no way. Nice one Francine >> James :)
