Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

The Dollar Store

The quality is not the best,
The choices not too many,
But it's the place to go to save
The so-called "pretty penny."

The aisles are filled with housewares,
Wrapping paper, cards and toys.
You'll find candy and cosmetics,
Socks and bibs for girls or boys.

Decorations for a party,
School supplies and bags of snacks;
There are sheets and towels and blankets,
Even underwear on racks.

I would hate to have to shop there,
Though so many people do.
Still, it's hard to pass one by without
A stop to see what's new.

Maurice Rigoler October 5, 2016 at 9:44 AM My Dollar Store is so close to my apartment complex it's only a very short walk for an occasional bargain – usually chips, peanuts and a ballpoint pen. Your description compares favorably to mine. Thanks for stopping by. / M
