Back To School
Stores are kinda busy,
people are on a shopping spree,
young and old they may be
they all want something free.
Then a message, pleasing to see,
reads: "buy one, take one for free".
An old woman asked the saleslady:
"Can I take only the free?"
A young salesman had a gimmick,
something difficult to mimic,
he was selling two books for eighty
but if one, it's only forty.
Two customers quarrel
for they want the same towel;
The manager just do not care
'cause stocks are everywhere.
Then an old man in a wheelchair
came looking for the bartender,
he was ordering a glass of beer
for he thought it was a bar.
Shoppers young, shoppers old,
some are warm, some are cold;
There is noise everywhere
'cause "back to school" in here.
