This cold is not conducive
To walks in winter sun
But the Malls are warmly heated
So, shopping can be fun…
While tinselled decorations
Seem garish in hard times,
Tasty, sinful edibles
Mean punters form long lines!
Caviar and lobster bisque
Vanish from the shelves
With pink champagne - not to be missed -
How we enjoy ourselves!
Be-ribboned gifts in cellophane
Appeal to jaded eyes,
Thoughts averted from Ukraine
And Qatar World Cup guys …
Mad rush to garner goodies;
Thinks: will there be enough?
Belgium: land of foodies
Awash with deluxe stuff!
