Riddles and Retail, Zeus's Unwanted Adventure
Zeus Carver, a shop owner so keen, Got dragged in a plot, quite obscene. With riddles and bombs, And McClane's loud psalms, "This day," he declared, "was unclean!" ©bfa032225 (Samuel L. Jackson in Die Hard 3) ...

Yuletide here
Does this mean much to you, Force fed at Yuletide too? Unsure if Jesus meant all this, Tinsel town of retail bliss, Beginning to feel like Yuletide, Snow in Aussie ocean tide, Swimming and drinking, What is Santa thinking? Overfeeding everyone, Overstuffed games in the sun, Does Jesus think we're crude? Groaning, here's more food, Gimme more gifts and a card, Graft for Christmas, that's so hard, No...

A Retail Life
They trudged through the side entrance past the wall of Pepsi products down the aisle between beauty aids and bedding, passing stacks of toilet paper ‘As Seen on TV’ and sporting goods deeper into the insatiable appetite of American consumerism They entered through the door marked DO NOT ENTER! climbed the stairs to exchange their freedom for a badge number and a pricing gun to trade their...

The Retail Game
There’s a place in never never land Where shopping centres go Every single night to replace The goods they have on show You’ll never see them travelling 'Cos they go through hyper-space And sometime in the panic Get returned to the wrong place So if you’re in your city centre And the shops don’t seem quite right You can bet your bottom...

Premium Member Ghost Mall
Ghost Mall The chess king still searches for his foxmoor inside the ghost mall; she slips behind a casual corner somewhere down by the Gimbels sipping an Orange Julius with Hot Sam. No one sees the old bypass men traipsing around the dry fountains overandover in their white Kinney’s others loop-de-loop, over the Scoop and under the kiosk bone fields stopping to prayby the Lazarus door...

My Television Is Now In the Trash
My television is now in the trash because it became to much , the constant sound of selfishness and lack of human touch . That one eyed monster is finally gone and good riddance too all it’s lies. As I slammed that lid and I’m glad I did I could only feel despise. Goodbye too your incessant drone ,...

Premium Member Retail Worker's Lament
I work in the retail sector. I smile all day long. I hear the same lame jokes and pretend to laugh along. "If it doesn't scan its free"" I hear sixty times a day. I smile and say "No it's not" because I really need the pay. "The price is too high' "Can I bring it back". I wonder why they came. I nod, agree...

A Christmas Thought
A Christmas Thought It was a night like this That the world changed forever Some say for the worse Some say for the better A child arrived The King of Kings The world would be different So the Angel sings Unto you a child is born The Son of God by name Some were happy he was here Others not so that he came Wars are fought in...
