Only at Wal-Mart
By Elton Camp
Where you must park a mile away
Beggars are at the doors every day
Vacant shelves all over the store
How can shoppers ask for more
Items out of stock for weeks
A bathroom that, of urine reeks
The brands you want not on display
They force “Great Value” their way
The rollbacks, goodness sakes alive
Was nineteen dollars, now $20.95
Longer to check out than to shop
Long lines make you want to drop
We now shop there less and less
Higher prices not so bad, I guess
Publix and Kroger get our dough
More and more it is becoming so

No Doubt I win it to call it just as if I know it to be.
I will slip covers over the clouds flying up so high.
Then I will tweet it knead it and mark it a red sign.
No Doubt! X marks my spot as a variable alike me.
No Doubt that my eyes always are looking to see.
I will shush the oceans roar with my rollbacks I tie.
Then thumbs up to high fiving the Stars in my sky.
No Doubt I am living it and loving it prancing it free.
Sometimes I think of you,
Missed yet hit deep down.
Will I be the same as true?
Will my shadow be around?
Misplaced or rooted well no doubt I will be fit.
Shining in Glory shall be it to those who see it.
