‘Twas the Week Before Christmas

Twas the week before Christmas, when all through Missouri,
Shopping malls were filled with gift-givers in a hurry,
In search of the perfect holiday delight,
For friends and for loved ones, when oh! What a sight!

To wonder in amazement at shelves filled with masses,

All was not finished, the answer was near,
The King of Kash would renew their holiday cheer.

He would provide […] Read more
