Closing Down




December’s looking down at heel
High streets have the footfall blues
Shopping bags with room to spare
Compete with latest online views

How long will heavy overheads
Be justified to load the price
As profits fail to meet the rents
A business skating on thin ice

No store has 'Sales' immunity
Everyone feels profits pain
Jobs are disappearing fast
We won't see them again

The hubbub of the market place
Where something more is going on
The ‘Seeing is Believing’ show
May soon be ‘Something Once’ now gone

It’s worth noting how the going out
Gave expectation and surprise
As online pleasures turned to house arrest
Where no one ventures out and buys
