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 © Jack Ellison 2013

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

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!

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
