Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

At the Store

Needed some sneakers
So went to a store
But nobody shops
In a store anymore.

Salesfolk approached me;
No customers shopped.
Prices were discounted,
Then again chopped.

Left with a purchase – 
A new sneaker pair,
But wonder how long
That same store will be there.

Jan Allison August 2, 2018 at 4:21 PM I much prefer to try before you buy Ilene but sadly shops are disappearing - have noticed it so much when we went To Southport and about 11 shops on the main street were shut and they'd been there the last time we'd visited:-( hugs jan xx
