‘Twas the night before Christmas
And in every shop
The employees were praying
For the music to stop.
Then over the speakers
There came a great roar
Of earsplitting guitar,
Bass, and four on the floor.
The singer was screaming
About who-on-Earth-knows
And the customers shopping
For last minute clothes
Stood still in the aisles
And heard the hard rock
And were grateful to that guy
Who turned off the schlock.
An employee was fired
For changing the playlist
But the customers rallied
And described him as “A-list”
And as he departed
And the carols returned
The shoppers revolted…
Firing overturned!
So the metal resumed
And the shoppers came back
And they purchased roast beef
And sang “Back In Black”.
