Christmas at the Mall

Mark A. Mandel, © 1996

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
all around the mall,
     so busy with wreath and bow
     everywhere that you go,
you hardly can recognize the stores at all.
          (spoken:) Yeah, right!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas --
tinsel, red, and green --
     and the calendars all say
     that there's only one more day
left till Hallowe'en!
