Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Office Supply Store

My friend asks me “Do you want to go to the office supply store?”
Of course, I did not.
Who would want to?
But she is my guest for the weekend, so I lie and say “yes”.
I came out with two bags; they weigh more than sixty bricks.
She spends $8.
In my defense, did you know that they sell notebooks there?
In nineteen colors?

L Milton Hankins July 10, 2022 at 10:02 AM Wow, this is incredibly reminiscent! Deb would do the same thing. She loved the office supply store. We had folders for everything, calendars for gift-giving, notebooks and pens...in case of need, and decisions, decisions about which was the right ballpoint pen.
