Return of the Red Eye
Jedessa had a sharp shopper’s eye,
her uncanny bar code intuition
told her which bargains to pass by
Irregular fits raised the purse alarm,
buy-as-is was a siren salesman charm
Flute the loose cash with soothing store sounds,
attract the wary souls with free samples all around
Lady Jed had an eagle eye
for those type of common distractions
And a talon grasp for subtle
pleasure principle cortex connections
She had a quick light saber response
to those market dark subliminal actions
Her optical laser beam had a narrow focus red gleam,
cutting edge was her verbal repartee
Parrying with fine domestic skill and consumer wit;
outfoxing the retail office henpeck trolls,
made her floor presence borderline criminal
Holidays spurred return of the red-eye,
Jed always gave a victorious secret sigh ...
and her luxurious signature,
velvet hand-wave gift registry goodbye
