All You Can Eat At Hi Buy Part Two

I looked in awe across the room it seemed quite empty ~ only her she must have weighed 300# cured and ate at will, quite well I'm sure. What should I do ~ toss at her feet I was embarrased to a point my food so given, my friend's treat Decided then ~ take on the joint! "Let's call the paper ~ I knew them" Man, what a story ~ I felt bold the cashier huffed up ~ stomped away was running somewhere through the fold! I just stood tall, and walked outside the hugh store front ~ bench out of sight newspaper stand ~ I thought call them the Chamber's vision ~ right makes might! The time passed slowly, waiting, small I felt like mopping up the store, My friend was shopping ~ bargains call while happy shoppers inside poured! Oh, No ~ a guardlike person came with club like at her side, in black I shrivelled, what is this, I claimed She wanted tray, in no time flat! Where was good will, no happy pride this was an action, time stood still I felt my heart skip, tears compelled yet flinched not at this ne'er do well! My mission work of years ago we'd even go to grocery stores, and day old bread ~ they'd throw away we'd pick up for the hungry role! Gave up my tray, with one last look strawberries, spinach, olives black, sunflower seeds, and herring stacked, pineapple chunks ~ but don't look back! I knew they'd throw the food away how great it feels when others help just had to write this one small play but Corporate logic has gone "whelp! Good Bye, High Buy ~ you're too abrupt, The Military's in your . . . . Cup!
