Christmas being overswung
a big retail axe
gashing pocketbooks early
will pause on the thirty first

Sell a black man his favorite enjoy,
a lounge chair plush leather Laz-e-Boy
Such rich cotton irony,
poor speech pickaninny
Risky retail fighting words to employ

Coming Too Soon

COMING TOO SOON
by H.B.Ussach

Popping up like pre-fab stucco-concrete-aluminum posies,
Poking up on parking lots as donut shops and quick lubes,
They are plain, utilitarian, proletarian low-low-price bunkers
On a retail war-weary land.

Copacetic

I can't cope with copacetic,
A life of compromise seems to me pathetic,
Without completing dreams, I can't gauge my worth,
So with arms raised high, Eyes shut, I fly out to mirth,
I find myself flattened quickly against a glass ceiling,
Now a budding career in retail seems appealing.

Premium Member Essence Discarded

All you see are gifts and lights in the mall 
         Loads of Christmas trees standing tall
No wise men in sight 
            Vendors in a retail fight
The gist is lost in their race to enthrall

Premium Member Spirits, Incorporated

Written by Gail DeBole

Fred Hardtselle, a salesman who died,
On his tombstone had these words inscribed:
"In a seance call me,
for a rather small fee,
I'll find out where you're going, and why!"

Premium Member Free Enterprise

Supermarkets stay open
   The corner grocer can't
His plans, hopes and dreams
   All crushed like an ant's

Big box retail has income from selling its wares
   As the little guy quietly tears out his hair
His door must stay closed; those are the rules --
   of free enterprise in the land of the cruel

Written by Gail DeBole on May 18, 2009


There once was a fella named Murray
Who lived his life in a flurry.
When the grim reaper stopped by
Murry refused to die
Saying, "I have a 
Meeting at 10:30."

Premium Member Portrait of Mr F Shui

Written by Gail DeBole on February 4, 2013

A man with the name of Feng Shui
Arranged his life in a Qi-loving way.
Full of sweet harmony,
And life planned to a “T”,
Bad Karma didn’t “stand” in his way!

Premium Member Ben's Best Friend

Written on April 3, 2017
By Gail DeBole

Ben’s best friend was a dog named Zid
Who he treated just like his own kid.
When Ben rode his bike
Zid piggy-backed like a tyke
Holding tightly in case of a skid.

Retail

You hang on a rail
Poised in the window.
Flaunt yourself to passers by.

They gawp at you
Then walk on by.

You start to feel cheap
No one cares anymore
They want to swap you
For a newer model.

They move you to the back 
You've sunk to their level.

Few people try you on.
Your last year's fashion.
Your on sale.

A coupon clipper named Carla
Has a pile of coupons in her parla'.
      She clips more each week,
      Treats each like an antique,
And guards them against any burgla'.

Leprechaun - Version 16.0

A Leprechaun who would not rest
Until achieving his virtual best.
Would look for the gold
As he virtually scrolled
To find his emoji treasure chest.

Animal Real Estate

The fallen nest of life
whose straw lay strewn,
holds no bidders.

The ransacked burrow
...caved in,
holds no retail value.

The marsh land paved,
still resonates
through your cup of tea.

Twas their last plea;
which you ignored.

Real estate is only profitable
when built by people.

...But animal real estate
holds more value.

The Bottle Gourd Rhyme

I am tall, I am slender,
Light Green but not cucumber.
Have a snout, have a tail,
Found in market & even retail.

Packed with Vitamin C, K & Calcium,
I punch my weight in nutrition.
Eat me & get a healthy heart, Bring down cholesterol & fat!

I am 90% water & light,
& can climb up with delight.
Eat me & be wise,
as solid, liquid or otherwise!

There once was a thief named Brooks
Who wrote a crook’s self-help book.
He charged a very small fee
But the thieves got it for free,
When they self-helped themselves to the books.

Retail Therapy - Poor Husband

An over-burdoned wife from old Sydney Town,
    Life on top of her and feeling quite down,
         So, retail therapy off she went,
      On Master Card two thousand spent,
     Now her husband is wearing  a frown.

Alternate last line options:

1.  Now her husband wears a frown.

2.  Now her husband's feeling down.

3.  Now hubby makes a whimpering sound.

Premium Member Whoot Dun It

Written By Gail DeBole

There once was an owl whose loud hoot
Could frighten the fiercest of brutes.
A "whoo-t" of renown
Sent birds circling the town
To find out who did what when to whoo-t!

Women's Ways

Elevators ride east going west
Leaning in the right direction
Girls inside grow up thin and rich
Pretty, beyond color, beyond touch
Once on the escalator of life 
Life goes sideways
The mall has it all at a cost
Uterus smiles, ideas spring forth 
Pink, beyond reach, beyond price
Women want what women need
Everything marked down twice
Below retail of course would be nice
