Mall, Boutique, Department store treasures to my commercial heart do speak   Must frequent all to earn preferred status and join the frivolous clique Glitzy curtains, fragrant candles, gaudy clothes through glamorous show windows peak Sales, promotions, every-day values entreat any time during the week Checks, petty cash start the extravaganza; plastic cards extend the streak Nick knacks, valuables, and everything in between must seek To grand openings, holiday giveaways, early previews, away I sneak Revelling through posh galleries, gilded show rooms in the presence of chic manequins so sleek Reconnoitering new fashions, suave styles, designer wears so sheek Through crowded aisles, up squeaky escalators, into narrow corridors not for the meek With such dedication, resolve, and passion you dare call me weak My cabinets are stuffed, my closets are packed, my halls are cluttered; but I'm no freak

Thanks for the rejoinder, Leo. I do not use the spell check, because it does not work on my i phone. I usually inspect my poems carefully, but I see that I botched the common word 'curtains'. I have corrected the word. Thanks for your kind comments.
