Notes About The Poem

The Walmart Experience

You never know what you will find at the Walmart store,
One thing for sure, you will never be bored.
I once saw a woman in a fur coat at 80 degrees,
Standing there sweating as pretty as you please.

I’ve seen a woman walking around in her bikini,
She was not slender, and it was teeny weeny.
Shoppers that saw her did a double take,
Watching each step as she would jiggle and shake.

Many a time I have seen a man with his butt showing,
I pretend not to notice, and just kept going.
Some men wear their pants dragging, and low on their hips,
They are trying to be cool, but you hope they don’t trip.

A few with the motorized carts don’t know how to drive,
So you stay out of their way if you want to stay alive.
At the Walmart store you usually can find a good deal,
And the entertaining customers you see is part of its appeal.

We don't have Walmart in Oz, so I have never seen this phenomenon first hand, but I have I seen the collections of Walmart photos. Your poem reminds what I have seen in those collections, and I'm not sure I that I should thank you for that.
