Twas the Night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the mall.
Not an American Made product could be found, not one at all.
The Chinese Made decorations were hung with care,
Seemed to glare at me with an evil red stare.

The children lay nestled in their beds,
While visions of lead laden toys danced in their heads.
And Mama in her Made in Pakistan Kerchief and I in my Made in China cap,
Stood in the middle of the Mall and Shouted “I’m tired of this imported crap!â€
