Pack your bags
We are off to the airport
Our Flight #212 was called
Our plane is running down the runway
Into the friendly skies
European places
Just you, me and anyone else who wants to join
Enriched goodness and elegance
Feel the avion
History with its own aroma
Reflecting back enjoying the laid back
Relaxed setting
Sights and sounds
Loveliness like no other
Picture perfect
European cuisine
Wine sip
European flavor
Just savor
Foreign languages accent all around
Romantic violin’s feeling enchanted
An evening of dance under the stars and moon
Kisses upon kisses
Candlelight sensation
Walking along the shores
Fashion shops
Styles and Brands
Shop until you drop
Adventure
Journey
Friendly voices
Destination back
Our venture hard to keep track.
Iconic through the years
Herald Square fascination
Macy’s Herald Square
A store that everyone explores
Tourist and shopper alike can’t ignore
Merchandise assortments on every floor
Brands after brands galore
Known throughout the land
Some in hot demand
Only one Escalator or Elevator ride
Macy’s the Renaissance
Always gets the consumer response
The Herald Square store alone covers the entire block from Broadway to Seventh Avenue
Compulsive credit card spends
The bill will come at the end
Fashion with passion
Store stock sensation
Shop until you drop
Pace yourself
Just be satisfied
Don’t say you weren’t warned
Your credit card statement
Payment in the task to fulfill
Macy’s Star
You will be the celebrity shopper thus far.
I have had enough
Of traipsing around the shops
Looking at all the stuff
Stuff is what I call it
I don't know how else
That describes the tacky rubbish
That adorns every shelf
Where is the Christmas spirit
And the festive cheer
All I heard were moans and groans
Everything so dear
People look worried
Many looked concerned
Trying to make both ends meet
On money that they've earned
Perhaps it was the weather
The temp was 42
Shopping in the air-conned stores
Seemed the sensible thing to do
I could not blame the weather
That would be unfair
I suppose it didn't help
To stop the anxiousness out there
Young and old were sitting down
Resting and mopping their brow
Rubbing swollen ankles
Trying to get as much relief
As the heat would allow
I came back exhausted
Feeling hot and sad
Thoughts of Christmas of years gone by
And the joyous time we had
Everything was simple
Done with loving care
Most people were working class
Always ready to care
And share
With others who had even less
A spiritual feeling of kindness
And goodwill
Is it only me that feels this loss of divinity
Too much materialism
Too little Holy trinity
I am a bit of a worry wart overly sensitive at times
I love to write poetry and as you see it always rhymes
I don't say i am a religious person but have spiritual ways
I believe in giving people room to change but if they don't that's okay
I love to give i find that's when i am at my best
But sometimes my shopping sprees gets me in to a real fine mess
And truly i never learn from it i really love to shop
I would be great in a commercial shop until you drop
I love camping and fishing i even put my own worm on my hook
And for how many times i have caught a seagull i could truly write a book
Now i know your probably laughing i would if i herd that
Hooking them is not a problem its trying to put them back
Camping is a passion i have a trailer the size of a hut
I also love animal i have a turtle a cat and a mutt
I lost my husband seven years ago a bad fog was to blame
I am getting better as time goes on yet is never quite the same
Well that was a little about me and i really tried my best
I will close for now for i really need some rest
