Away In a Strip Mall

Away in a strip mall,
no strip did I see.
That strips might be sold there
means nothing to me.

And then I thought strip tease!
I walked all around
but no naked ladies
were there to be found.

No cute guys there either
in nothing but thongs
who hinted that maybe
they’d show us their dongs!

There’s Vegas strips, so why
not say a mall STRIP?
I went to see strippers
but wasted my trip.

I’m shocked…. Shocked, I say… I nearly dropped my bible. Actually enjoyed this very much, Andrea. Shame your trip was fruitless, but at least it earned you a top place win. Congratulations. Terry

OMG this is kind of funny, it is the kind of stuff a dad joke could be made out of. Also, I was able to sing along your lyrics to the tune of "Away In A Manger."

Like the barkers on a fairway, those malls arn't showing what they're selling. Bad Mall ... bad. Sounds like someone is excited it's Saturday Night. :-) A poet friend in Texas, Bill
