On the last day before Christmas
you’d expect busy streets
filled with people franticly looking
for last minute buys.

Faith is a cruel mistress
as economy downfall
seemed to have deprived most,
of their shopping sprees

Well I was there alright,
with my amazing planning skills,
franticly looking in the old centre
of Maastricht for a treasured gift.

Riviera Maison is my trusted goto place
classy & sassy I found just the item
at half its normal price, and packaged so well,
it would’ve embarrassed mr Bean.
