More Awesomeness......

Ode to Walmart

Here's a little poem I wrote after a particularly frustrating experience at Wal-hell
Perhaps, you feel the same.

ODE TO WAL-MART

To you, it seems I always go

Walking your aisles to and fro
All the items are constantly changing, 
'Cause the aisles you're always rearranging.

Bananas, clothes, and shampoo
Futons, dog food, and cheap shoes
Plungers, lightbulbs, CDs, and more
How I love to visit my Wal-Mart store!

Get it all in one place
Put a smile upon your face......

That is,
Until you reach the line...
Then the problem you will find 
One checker there and fifty baskets...
Makes me want to blow a gasket

Five minutes, ten minutes, then fifteen
How to fill the time in between?

Feet are tapping and heads are steaming
Little children in line screaming, 
Grabbing at the shelves of candy...

Isn't Wal-hell really dandy?

I hate this place; oh, I hate it so
To Wal-Mart, from now on, I will not go!
I'll buy my things at some other store,

But wait....

Do they  have the things I want and more?
Or will I run from place to place 
With a frown etched on my face?

Somehow, I always end up, right back here
This is the Wal-Mart curse, I fear.
So same time, next week I'm sure you'll find
Me waiting STILL in the Wal-Mart line
Fuming, cursing, and counting the ways
To bring an end to my rollback days....
