I Can't Give Things Titles, I'm Too Busy Thinking Important Thoughts
Listen to poem:
Pondering how mockingly stupid the word 'cakery' is ~ I've just realised that 'bakery' is also a basic description. I'll trouble myself a while wondering if I've ever asked what either of them sell... I don't recall doing so but I may as well feel bad just in case.
I like that green grocers lure you in with the simple for you to be absolutely wowed once you get in there and spot the rainbow (rent free in my head lives the sign 'please leave prams outside because there isn't mush room')
Newsagents - nothing but derision for them. I'm not a fan of media brainwashing and propaganda, although I do like stationary - bizarrely the free stuff that's branded - they've always got a way to get into your psyche
I'd like to say the chippy never let me down - but they undercook their chips if there's a rush on...
Now - I'll end on this because I'm ill and tired but chemists! How wonderful that they could be called an apothecary... how terrible they choose pharmacy. Then I googled it and apothecary means storehouse and pharmako means to charm and enchant with magic and potions.
Words need a word with themselves.
