Why Shop At Mom and Pop's
Well hello sir, good morning ma'am,
I hope you’re doing well today.
Come on in and feel this fabric,
see how wonderful these clothes lay.
Go ahead and try this suit on ,
now isn’t that simply divine.
This color does highlight your eyes,
but have you seen this brand-new line.
This is such a fantastic choice,
oh my, and would you look at this.
Our new sale started just today,
and these items are on the list.
I know that you're a veteran,
so let me give you that discount.
Thank you so much for your service,
and this is your total amount.
I am grateful for your purchase,
won’t you please come back any time.
I'm sorry that you had to wait,
so long here in our checkout line.
So few are shopping local now,
they all buy from the internet.
I had to let some workers go,
and cut the pay of those that’s left.
I'd rather see a cashier's smile,
and I will hope that you would too.
Better than make your selection,
now from the following menu.
Click here and add this to your cart,
continue on to the checkout.
Your order has now been confirmed,
we'll send you something there's no doubt.
As long as you have some plastic,
they will take from you what they can.
Until they've stolen each dollar,
and there's no more small businessman.
After that you won’t have a choice,
they'll send you what they think you need.
You'll just keep on getting something,
because there’s no end to their greed.
You might think you're saving money,
by buying all your things online.
But you're just delaying the end,
we'll all pay the bill in due time.
