End of Year Sales

Massive sales are on again, with most big stores partaking,

And for the next few weeks they’ll be their normal rates forsaking,

Offering throughout their shops, huge discounts to attract

The many bargain hunters who are lured in by the fact

The discounts are stupendous, making items very cheap,

And so through all those many doors, the eager shoppers leap.

But though the shops are filled with goods, and prices are reduced,

And most of them are hoping that their sales will give a boost

To general profits for the year, it really should be said,

That there is often little there worth spending money on,

For items that were popular have mainly already gone,

And all that’s left is things that no-one wanted much before,

But promises of discounts bring crowds surging through the door.
