Best Walmart Poems

I want to mingle
with the people of Walmart 
as they regally push 
their shopping carts
Eclectically dressed perfection
each a work of art
Camouflaged chic
or an old guy 
dressed like a tart
Back and forth my eyes dart
Over there
a sequinned heart
and here 
a bedazzled jacket
that looks real smart

Some saunter,...

blueberries are not an option
oversize strawberries, maybe.
16 pack
of pop-tarts

the workers look worried
or weary
worn down by the woman who taps on her wrist-watch
with her forefinger
her painted mask forms a frown
her eyebrows are more aggressive

flashing lights
spilled onto the glossy floor tiles
the shelves are soaked in strange

i am...

YOUR WALMART GIRL
----verse 1
Sometimes some things just happen.
Sometimes we need a touch to help us get by.
When it's not there we wonder why.
I know your hand is lonely.
It's in your touch I see it there in your eye.
All I can do is wonder why.
------chorus
Why can't...

my empty car
idles as I shop. . . 
Why aren’t my keys with me?

(This happened to me this year on Black Friday.
Lucky for me, I had not locked the car!!)

At the local Walmart (some of us shop there)
a young woman was standing at the self-checkout 
with a huge cart of groceries, sobbing her eyes
out.  The store was crowded.  No one
paid her any attention.  I was passing on 
my way out of...

~Sale At Wal-Mart~ 
(Free Style) 


I heard there's a sale 
A sale right at Wal-Mart 
They're about to sail 
Still their biggest sale 

I receive their notice 
It came with my e-mail 
Don't care what hails 
Nothing beat their sales 

So I'll run to Wal-Mart...

She wore a teeny red bikini in Walmart to shop,
At 300 lbs, she made the shoppers jaws drop.
She bounced and flopped going down the aisle,
Enjoying all the attention in grand old style.

There were no signs that read, “No bikinis in the store,”
So the management let...

Walmart
I despise you

The flea on the dog
Aphid in the garden
Disease that turns into plague

Wasn't to pleased we did business with you
Was out of my control, 
Had to watch the news
He comes in my room
Look of disgust on his face
Units being returned
Okay, no big deal
They never...

on rolling hills they were laid
given a tomb stone and honored grave
up right and at attention
all standing in formation
on peaceful and silent hills 
they laid
in rows, government issued graves
a place to stay until Resurrection Day
a place with a Name, on visitors day
a place to put...

You never know what you will find at the Walmart store,
One thing for sure, you will never be bored.
I once saw a woman in a fur coat at 80 degrees,
Standing there sweating as pretty as you please.

I’ve seen a woman walking around in her bikini,
She...

soon all that will be left is a jar with
 a vertibrae and rubbing alcohol.

  methusela growing long exo-sceletal fingernails
 in his seven hundreth year steers crookedly.


 soon all that will be left is grocery isles filled
with bleached teflon he says.

rows of miraculous white...

Though the same might well be said for the men,
My brain is not on autopilot for them.

     On a hunt for portable heat through a whipping wind
     I approach the glow of our collective cornucopia

Plumbing problems in several a nightmare,
closing stores for 6 months which is rare,
gutting them out,
security abound,
shoppers unprepared and downright scared.
