Best Stores Poems

I was reminiscin' the other day about times that were more sublime,
And got to thinkin' about those old stores called Kresge's Five and Dime.
I recall browsin' through Kresge's Stores as a lad with Mom and Dad.
There ain't no more Kresge's Stores as far as I...

Are you shy around the guys and don’t know what to do?
A rose without a bloom and you haven’t got a clue.
If you spend your nights wondering why you never grew,
just wishing you would die, then our Killer Bra’s© for you!

There’s so many ways to...

I'm surrounded by stores from inside and out
and frightened by one when all are in doubt.
Depressed by no money seeing items for sale,
while wanting for everything slowly going stale.

Soon I'll be shopping for groceries again
feeling hypocrisy's end,
while spending my budget all at once
and knowing that...

Sometimes in a store I browse
And other times I buy.
It all depends on what they’ve got
That might just catch my eye.

And even if I fall in love,
An item might not make it
For if I can’t display it,
There’s no reason I should take it.

Today, 3 times...

People entering Giant Tiger usually have grey hair
It's something to do with the tattered clothes they wear
Bank accounts are smaller
They have dwindling dollars
A mask solves the problem of being recognized there...

A killer has nothing to kill,
if shoppers get a grip, and 
swallow the bitter pill!
"Honey, you can't go in 
big stores anymore.
Less your are willing to be 
another victim on a concrete
floor."

Get off the dang you tube 
and shop on line!
Unless you want to be
dispatched to...

Big malls and mega-stores, equals small houses,
With Waring spouses,
And children often the losers.

Making cents, not sense,
Politicians talking nonsense,
About skyrocketing rents.

When will the penny drop,
About the way we shop,
So, we can wear collars less hot....

THE STORES ARE ALIVE

(To the tune of “The Hills Are Alive” From The Sound of Music) 

The stores are alive with the sound of Muzak;
With carols they play every Christmas time.
The stores fill my ears with the sound of Muzak;
My heart wants to sing every...

People in stores
By Michelle Morris

People in the store
Moving like zombies
Through aisles and choices
Displays of Western privilege

Marking each step
Further and further away
From the life of those who
Have little to feed their bellies

But much to fill their souls
As they form communities
Who stand together
Surviving and thriving in joy

Whilst...

Some things are painfully memorable,
These are the sweet moments of years gone by,
When we lived without knowing our share,
But you can't buy a ticket there anymore.

I was born under lucky stars
In the house on the corner.
This house is forever filled with dreams
It is like a...

My feet are chilly, a reminder that winter is right around the bend so take care or yourselves.
Christmas thinking already?  Yes, because I was in a department store yesterday, and they had already 
Thrown out the witches, ghouls, goblins, haunted houses, and replaced them...
