Pop Marts, Ma Tends To Tend
Ma and Pop
pop and ma
the small needle
the big darn.
Little shop of peddlers
first to be robbed,
accused of being
gougers.
Ma wants to move to Florida,
pa wants to expand
the jerky sticks shelving.
Locals know them,
they shop with Ma & Pop
because their near -
they sell beer.
First to go the way
of the dodo,
last to hang around
backs against the wall
old and shaky,
filling in the blanks
in our coloring books.
