Don't be one of those Kites that hit
the shopping trails
When all the derhs are weary after

Whst's the use of loafing while the
early shoppers win?
When you are sweating lava, those

your putter and delay?
Pray leave tftem strength to cele

If you put off your shopping till the
very last hour.

Merry Christmas girlie!"
The clerK replied, "If you were dead

We could ertf oy a little fun around
our Christmas table,
But slow-poKee Keep me on the run*
