Not too many people at the mall today.
Could be the weather.
Look, the toothbrushes are all lined up,
happy as clams, waiting for the sale to begin.
Mouthwash might be a wise investment.
I'm sure my accountant would agree.
I think I'll grab a bite in the food court.
Maybe a hot dog with mustard and meat sauce,
the way I used to order them
30, 40 years ago at Steve's Hot Dog Palace,
before Steve ran away with the spoon.
Later I'll check whether the best sellers
are doing just that. Probably
find some discrepancies.
And who knows what magic the kiosks hold?
Or what's showing at the show?
I want to get back home though before the front.
The local meteorologists have been chatting it up.
And you know what that means.
