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. September 10, 2022 Back to School Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Francine Roberts
