Sorry, I'm late again - I just can't keep up the same pace as everyone else. I'd like to propose a longer period before the prizes are awarded, for those of us with other things to do.

Anyway - some Gilbert and Sullivan this time.

A Shopper's Lot

When a nudist's not engaged in his employment
When he's aired his graces just as best he can
Then to get a bit of innocent enjoyment
He hits the shops, like any other man
When free gifts and shopping vouchers are on offer
And there's serious shopping needing to be done
He will take the chance the Austrian store does proffer
So the shopper's lot can be a happy one

When stores offer clothing optional shopping
Then it's clear that she will need to take her chance
Never mind if other's egos may be flopping
Now's the time to make the streaking trolley dance.
In the country duly famed for Sound of Music
It's a way to save some money and have fun
Shopping in the nude can be so therapeutic
And the nudist's lot can be a happy one.

When the aisles are full of melons gaily bouncing
When the sausages are mixed up with the ham
And the nudists round the store are merry flouncing
You can see the mutton all undressed as lamb
When the queue at the cash desk has been filling
With the underclothed who've come out of the sun
And they hope to save the occasional Schilling
So the nudist's lot can be a happy one.

Let the oglers ogle and the prudes be prudish
Let the papers and the public have their day
Let it snow and freeze outside, if that's what you wish
That won't keep intrepid nudists far away
Let the managers manage in the rush hour
Let assistants all assist us when we come
Publicity is ours! We surely won't cower
For the nudist's lot is now a happy one.
