Costco

Show your card to enter;
Gaze at all the piles – 
Boxes after boxes
Stacked for blocks or maybe miles.

All the sizes jumbo;
Price-wise it’s a steal.
To the average shopper
I can see that’s the appeal.

Maybe I’m too urban,
But it’s not my thing.
Shopping in a warehouse
Is, to me, a one-time fling.

I prefer my markets,
Though I pay much more,
For me and Costco somehow
Don’t have much of a rapport.

I agree! I haven't been to Costco but we went to Sam's one time. I guess if I had a walk-in freezer it would be worth it but.......Nahhhh. Very well put and great rhyme as usual!...........pat
