Eric Ashford Poet Blank verse

A Notice To Our Customers

Valued clients, we have listened,
and have taken on-board
your concerns and suggestions.

From now on, the display manikins will
be of a deep puce green color 
so as not to marginalize 
any ethnic variants.

In our book section 
the last a copy of the Constitution
was taken out of the shelves and buried
(thanks gardening department).

We are now a gun-free zone, 
and will be defenseless
from attacks from gun-toting maniacs.
Please bring the kids.

We hope these changes 
will improve customer service 
and assure you of our pledge
to keep pandering toward a ubiquitous
uniformity of puerile solutions for all.

Caren Krutsinger September 26, 2019 at 11:26 AM I thought the green mannequin was great. But this was terrific: "We are now a gun-free zone, and will be defenseless from attacks from gun-toting maniacs. Please bring the kids."

Tamanna Ferdous September 24, 2019 at 9:02 PM I will never need to buy anything from you, mind it. So this poem is not for me and not for you from my end also. Wishing you a blessed time. Take care. Eric Ashford September 24, 2019 at 9:09 PM Blessing returned Tamanna.

Eric Ashford September 24, 2019 at 5:04 PM Thanks James, it's a shame that we have to remind the politically correct of their all too frequent lunacy, but being always far more virtuous than most folks, they seem to have given up on listening. Corporate virtual signaling is all about the bottom line of course. Cheers.

James Long September 24, 2019 at 3:34 PM Honestly, this is great, friend. It is so very sad that we all need to defend ourselves, but this is all generated by the many things that we all hide and defend ourselves from, and are just what we continue to resend and abuse with one another than upon each other, when we could all just continue to tell the honest truth, continually, first and foremost, and to the utmost!
