Deck the Aisles

Mark A. Mandel, © 1998
To the tune of "Deck the Halls"



In the supermarket aisles, 
   fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
Plastic elves wear plastic smiles,
   fa-la-la... [you know how it goes]
Music welling from on high
   fa...
Urges us to buy and buy,
   fa...

See the litt-le Christmas tree
Open eyes and sing at me!
I should greet it with a shrug,
But I want to pull its plug.

How the brand names brightly call
(From) ornaments promotional.
Hang an angel on your tree
Plugging Chicken-of-the-Sea.

Homeward grumpily I sulk.
Next year I will buy in bulk,
And my house I will not leave
(From) Hallowe'en to New Year's Eve!
