Millionaires At Wallymart

Here's some real astonishing news
Even millionaires shop at Wallymart
Doesn't matter how rich people are
A bargain's still close to their heart

Haven't seen any limousines yet
At our local Wallymart store
But surveys say it's definitely true
They also like paying less for more

You know a lot of millionaire people
That resemble you and me
Hard to recognize when in the store
But drive off in a Jaguar XKE

Imagined the men wearing tux & tails
With the ladies in their sequined gowns
Guess they no longer dress like that
When us normal people are around

My mind's back in the roarin' twenties
But this is the year twenty-thirteen
Maybe my dear uncle will pass away
Leaving me some shares in AT&T

Carol Eastman June 17, 2013 at 7:00 AM My Grandfather was a Millionaire and shopped at Walmart. It was the only store around that small community... LOL... When he died he left everything to the small town community he lived in... They got a new library, Community Center, and scholarships... No dragon...he didn't leave anything to Walmart... LOL

Russell Sivey June 16, 2013 at 8:12 PM You have surely mastered how to display humor to us all, and I for for one am grateful you are posting again my friend! This poem is tremendous Jack, quite hilarious! What an outstanding piece, Great Work!!

Timothy Hicks June 16, 2013 at 1:15 PM I seem to think this way too! Always imagining them dressed all luxuriously, when in reality their clothing probably doesn't look that much different than the average Joe. Bet they're probably wearing their birthday suit when no one else is around... just saying! Hilarious as usual!

James Marshall Goff June 16, 2013 at 7:52 AM Good one Jack! Studies show we Americans pay 92 million $$$ /yr. to support Wallmart workers health and human services not funded by their employment! Kinda deflates the equation! Jimbo
