Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Wal-Mart Convenience

Do you have a copy machine?
Well certainly, Wal-mart said.
And she proved it.
I don’t suppose you have a notary, I said hesitantly.
I AM a notary, Wal-mart said.
She grabbed up her rubber stamp, ready to stamp.
I don’t suppose you take blood tests here, I asked.
“DNA tests?” She asked, perking up, getting out a DNA kit.
“Marriage blood tests,” I said.
Bring him over here, Wal-mart said.
“I am a reverend as of yesterday, and a justice of the peace 
as of an hour ago. Blood tests are out. You can marry your brother now.”
Wow, Wal-mart! Wow!
I grabbed my brother.

William Kelii Kekaula August 27, 2019 at 3:39 PM Copy yep, but unfamiliar about notary--taking latter as a viable--LOL, nice one ~ Aloha William Caren Krutsinger August 28, 2019 at 7:38 AM Thank you William.
