Sold - One Scarlet Hat!

Our Belgian concept is unique:

Here Black Friday lasts a week!

But will this lead to hectic sales

With smart clothes flying off the rails?

 

I have my doubts; don’t see the point

Of putting purse strings out of joint;

(Gee – what a mixed-up metaphor

But that’s what Bards are famous for!)

 

St. Catherine’s has a festive face

Fake-snow topped chalets fixed in place

A Ferris wheel now dominates

The future ice rink – bring your skates!

 

Agreed, it has a magic touch

As it awaits December crush;

Mulled wine and tartiflette provide

Sustenance for those who glide!

 

‘Twas here I bought my scarlet hat

A touch of class among the tat

And glitzy, brightly-painted wares

That tempt keen shoppers with their stares!
