It never comes around too soon

A visit to the Primark changing room.

Purgatory

Or hope or glory

Five items please

One to buy and four to steal

Men and women,

Some uncertain

Hide socks down frocks

Behind sliding curtains.

They hide blouses down trousers

And shirts up skirts

They hide goodies in hoodies

And hide packets in jackets.

Then to brighten up their walking blues.

Stroll past the guards in stolen shoes.
