Circle the Block
by Ray Pentland
Circle the block
Find the empty parking spot
Crowds in the shops
Line ups that never stop
Smell the winter exhaust
Autos are idling, trying to defrost
Shopkeepers smiling as presents are bought
Startled looks when somebody coughs
I always look forward to this
The search for the perfect gift
Anticipating how your face will lift
Surprised that I caught the hints
I'll bring it home tonight
I know I'll get it right
We’ll sit and laugh all night
Beside the tree with Christmas lights
Hear the bells and buzzers
Children calling for their mothers
Listen to those festive
Christmas carol covers
Circle the block
Find the empty parking spot
Crowds in the shops
Line ups that never stop
I always look forward to this
The search for the perfect gift
Anticipating how your face will lift
Surprised that I caught the hints
