'BIZ THE SEASON

DART BOARD

Registers ring like a trolley.

Apostle Gap, Saint Wordsworth,

Praise to you, our Heaven on Earth.

This metaphor must take note

Of Merchant sinners not remote.

Urban Outfitters, for one,

Sells only deconstruction.

Shape to clothes? Please, that's so old.

Customer help? Wrong place, we're told.

Have you bought your Christmas lights?

Never too early--don't be tight.

All cheer for the newborn king

Who, for his birthday, does us bring

Nothing less than retail pride,

A month before the sleigh does ride.
