Shopping Mania
parody of "To the Virgins to Make Much of Time" ("Gather ye rosebuds while you may") by 17th-century poet Robert Herrick
Gather ye bargains while ye may.
The big-sale days are flying.
If we don't dash to town today,
tomorrow we'll be crying.
Before the rising of the sun,
the battle will be raging.
Come on! Let's break into a run,
our own war to be waging.
The time is now. When that first door
flies open, we'll be leading.
We'll wildly race from store to store,
withstanding all stampeding.
Let's grab our credit cards and cash
and let them work their magic.
Such chances vanish in a flash.
Now wouldn't that be tragic?
