Special Days, Strategic Gains: The Politics and Commerce Behind the Calendar

Special Days, Strategic Gains: The Politics and Commerce Behind the Calendar

QUINTAINS

A day for the souls, pure and sweet,

Malls sell trinkets from head to feet.

Politicians chime in,

With a grin and a spin,

While their pockets with profit compete.

Special days sparkle and gleam,

The markets and pols love the scheme.

With show-offs so high,

They wink at the sky,

More profit, more votes, what a dream!

A ploy, with a rainbow so bright,

Showed "diversity" under the light.

But the board stayed the same,

Just a marketing game,

While profits soared into the night.
