What You Get Free From Wal-Mart

What You Get Free From Wal-Mart

By Elton Camp

Once you had to pay to see the freak show
Now enjoy it free when to Wal-Mart you go

The fat lady is longer found only at a fair
Go to Wal-Mart and she will be there

Likewise for the Wild Man from Borneo
At Wal-Mart he is anytime that you go

To the cooch show you once paid admission
In Wal-Mart, the sluts are on free exhibition

Many customers will range from X to PG
Shop at Wal-Mart and see it all for free

Thanks, I have a revision of it about ready to replace the current one. It adds comments about tattoos on some WM customers. The whole write isn't especially "politically correct," but it is only meant in fun. Elton

David, I live in rural Alabama and just got back from a shopping trip to our local Wal-Mart. Of course the poem is somewhat exaggerated for comic effect since most of the customers are just regular folks, but there are nearly always some weirdos mixed in. Some women will even to there in their pajamas. Some men pull a tee shirt over their heads only just before entering the store. Young women with thighs as big around as my entire body will wear short shorts. Elton
