Trip To The Mall
It's Saturday morning and off we go to the mall
The traffic just to get there is painfully slow
Upon arrival, it seems that parking spots are tough to be found
Up and down the rows of vehicles we finally get a break, someone is homeward-bound
As we enter the mall pushing and shoving start to ensure
We find an

Shopping Mall
Sing along with this to the tune of "Jingle Bells"
Shopping in the mall
In a rush to buy the clothes
or the sales we go
charging all the clothes.
Bills on credit high
making payments low
what fun it is to shop and charge
Until the bill is due.
Charge the dress, and the shirt
tap the credit card,
oh what fun is it shop

Remember Christmas shopping?
I mean in stores full of shoppers
- there was music in the air and
some shops had free hot-chocolate
while others offered hot cinnamon
apple-cider and ginger-reindeer cookies
Parents would have to wait outside stores
because the whole expedition was surreptitious
- you shielded your gift bags from prying eyes.
Siblings would offer to help you carry your loot
-

Shopping Mall Bandit
How does he choose his victim?
The police are baffled.
Six cases.
Six different women.
One old, one extremely young, the others 33, 45, 68 and 84.
Most of these guys have a type. This one doesn’t.
They are a variety of ethnic groups, different hair color.
Different body types, one with tattoos.
The shopping mall bandit has struck again.
Takes all of

The Food Court In the Shopping Mall
Today I went to the shopping mall
A few items I needed to purchase
I decided to have a coffee and snack
Then went to Tim Horton's to order
Paid for it then walked to an area
Where I could enjoy my coffee and snack
There wasn't anywhere to sit down the
seated areas were all taken away
So stood near a

Truth In Advertising
Big sale. Buy Two get one free
I race across the mall aisle and stare at an empty shelf
What had they been selling? I glance around for clues.
They sell phone covers, socks, and bras, so I wonder…was it
Valentines Day phone covers, Santa Socks, 4th of July bras?
“Hey,” I demand from an employee. “What was

No One Ever Wore It That Way Before
Well done, she said.
Smiling her biggest smile.
I have never seen anyone else wear it like that!
There are other ways to wear a skirt?
On a head? Or a shoulder perhaps?
You should buy it! She sang out gleefully.
It looks great! Another stranger told me.
Turn around! The other one said.
I pirouetted, in front of the three-way.
A stranger

Santa At the Shopping Mall
Santa is at the shopping mall
The children are all lined up
To have a visit with Santa Clause
Taking turns to sit on his knee
Telling him of Christmas gifts
To be put underneath the tree
After their visit with Santa
A photo is taken together
To bring home with them
As a reminder spent together
The kids are pleased they saw Santa
Giving

An Elegy Written In a Shopping Mall
The following poem was written at the request of my wife and it is intended to be ‘gently mocking’ in its style.
The reader MUST stroll though it for that purpose alone.
A long time ago, when with my mother, I went
On a shopping trip in which many hours were spent
Unto myself a secret promise
