Shopping Snobbery

The middle class are a snobbish lot,
Who'll pay too much for what they've bought,
If they think they look posh doing it.
You might imagine that they ought
To notice no-one's watching.

If you go to a cheap supermarket,
They sneer in a way that's just heartless;
They mock you and your shopping basket,
In a fashion which is really quite artless;
Their fear that they've been fooled's rather obvious.

Christmas Shopping

And so this is Christmas, the traffic is jammed.

Last minute shopping, the roads are just crammed.

Ambulances flash past in a blue glare,

As desperate shoppers succumb to despair.

Time is against them, they step on the gas;

In such a hurry, they may have a crash.

The fumes are increasing, as is the road rage.

Frustration is building, it feels like we're caged.

The season of goodwill just isn't much fun,

And the curse of it is, it's only begun.

Based on my experience of trying to get home tonight (Dec 19th), which involves driving across the City Centre. God knows what tomorrow will be like. 

P.S. it was worse.
