Where Is Everybody-If Only, Maybe, Sometimes

I saw on TV that the perfect pair of jeans was on sale, So I jumped into my car and drove like a bat out of hell. I just had to make it to the store and be the first anxious shopper waiting in line, No one was there I felt so ecstatic, the feeling was so divine. The grand opening was going to literally be in any second , Those amazing and new pair of jeans were calling my name, they beckoned. I waited and waited but the doors never opened and to my surprise, I only stood in line. I just stood there weighing my options as to why, I started to whine. Until I noticed “ Grand opening August the fourth, I was a day too early, If only…. I had watched the entire ad on tv, now I have to call my bestie Shirley.
