Hark! What a sound, the music plays;

the goods are on display.

The streets and trees are decked with lights,

and business people pray.

The Advent season shines so bright,

it comes but once a year.
Just four and twenty shopping days

to raise a High Street cheer.

O glad bonanza, retail feast,

with decor so sublime.
In malls and stores we sell our wares,

or catalogues online.
