Come inside the Mall,

the lights are bright and everything

is super, cheap and worth the risk,

of the stampede, of the pushing

and shoving, the charge of wallet and purse brigade,

the scattering of Stilettoes, the handbags

seized and used as battering rams,

the abuse towards the sales people, that’s O.K.,

the abuse towards your fellow man, that’s O.K.,

worth a black eye, that’s O.K. man,

as long as you get your 50 inch television

for fifty Dollars, quid, Euros, nicker less,

the money saved still more
