Short Shopped Poems

Ceramic feelings
cuts my skin
photo-shopped a dream
inserted you in

Pain is reference
years never knew
time card punched
Love is a color
BLUE...

gut shopped far and wide

                                         familiar

                                   gravity drew me

This limerick is about a clown,
Thought he’d do some shopping in town.
He scared baby boys,
His shoes made such noise.
So shoeless he shopped all around.

BOBBY'S HOBBY

I have a grandson named Bobby
Who started an expensive hobby
I shopped all the time
And spent my last dime
Now I feel like I own Hobby Lobby...

There once was a man named Art 
Who was thrifty and shopped at WalMart 
He was happy with life
As he rode on his bike
Till the bearings fell apart ...

Route 66ish No 17

John, a young guy from Miami
Had legs just a little bit gammy,
He would quite often fall
When he shopped in the mall
And land with a 'whomp' on his fanny!...

This limerick is about a clown,
who when shopping in a nearby town.
A mother with small boys,
said his giant shoes made too much noise.
Shoeless he shopped while tip toeing around....

A man with cash shopped at a used car lot
Where met a cute, winsome young harlot
Smiling, he took it in stride 
When she offered him a ride
He loved the trip ‘til he missed his wallet....

A father photo-shopped a picture of his daughter who took her own life....

Pretty as a picture
She smiles at you
With faraway eyes
Forever young now
Remember her in happiness
In love so precious too.

Needed some sneakers
So went to a store
But nobody shops
In a store anymore.

Salesfolk approached me;
No customers shopped.
Prices were discounted,
Then again chopped.

Left with a purchase – 
A new sneaker pair,
But wonder how long
That same store will be there....

The postman blinked
The man winked
The pan burned
The girl learned

The bell rang
The boy sang
The leaf fell
Will the merchant sell?

The pipe banged
The chimes clanged
The woman shopped
The cook chopped

The bird chirped
A senior sang in church
The baker whisked
The file was on the disk...

Rainbow owl, you are amazing even though
You are completely photo-shopped I know
An artist has made you adorable to me
I like your looks, gorgeous is what you be.

It makes me want to use photo shop myself.
I have never done it, because I need an elf
Who understand the ins and outs of technology.
So they can teach graphic arts to challenged me....

Found A Fragment

Of my mind I had found a fragment,
And what I wanted was your consent
To this poem try to continue on
Until both of us are finally gone.

Forever for poem shopped around
And sooner or later I was bound
To find one with much perfection
If I can come up with the connection.

And hope I did.

My foor peet were baking bo sadly.
		Irk  wended, and home I glushed radly.
		I clopped down on the fouch.
		I  was such a green mouch,
		just snapping at mamily fadly!

		I shopped after faving my hit,
		but sery voon I cad to whit!
		I was stanned from the bore.
		Say thaid, "Come here mo nore"
		when I yelled, "This foo doesn't s_ _ _!"

Would that LIFE were like the magazine
each article proof read
buffed and polished to a fine sheen
edited and re-edited
pictures cropped as needed
photo shopped perfection
at odds with the “camera”.

A full faced “lie” on the cover
reveling in “romantic recall”
basking in the loneliness
of the present.

Shopping For An Eternal Perspective
David J Walker

And in the beginning 
	God Said
Go ahead 
	Shop until 
	You drop
So	
	At last
	It came to pass
I shopped 
	And dropped
A dozen dimes at a time
	And didn’t stop
	Until I dropped
Dead
	In my tracks
Today
	I give it all away
Wondering what
	A consumer eccentric 
Crop of living beings
Really means
	In the eternal perspective...

A week ago, I rode the train
And saw a show; did not refrain
From eating out and seeing friends,
The things on which my life depends.

I’d planned a trip, was set to go,
Not knowing all that I now know.
I shopped in stores and waited for
My quilting class, which I adore.

A week ago I volunteered
But school group tours have disappeared.
So much has happened, oh, so fast.
How long, I wonder, will it last?...

Just the touch of your fingertips
  sent a thrill right up my arm
It started my heart a-pounding
  you wrapped me in your charms

Holding hands as we window-shopped
  sent my feet a-skipping along
As the music played, only for us
  Sinatra crooning our favorite song

The years melt into yesterday
  emotions so strong even now...  
Although we've gone our separate ways
  ~ I'll always wish that we'd exchanged vows...

I knew myself that I gave it all to you. 
My life, my love, my everything is now yours. 
I gave more than anything anyone could have given. 

I bought you diamond, he bought you pearl. 
I shopped you gold, even just a silver he never did. 
I even gave you the sea, and he just gave you an island. 

And so I was lucky you were delighted to swim. 
But you durst yourself to swim in the ocean of my love, just to cross and go to your island....

There once was a lady named Aula
Who loved to shop at the Mall-a.
She shopped ‘til she “dropped.”
She shopped and she shopped
Every Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall-a.

Christmas time put her skills to the test.
It was when Aula proved she was best.
The crowds stood amazed.
Aula could shop for days
Without losing her holiday zest.

Flea Markets

I’ve shopped the local markets
You’ve all shopped ones like these
You go early in the morning
Hope for a morning breeze
They sell things nobody wants
Like padlocks without keys
And clothes so old and musty
I just can’t help but sneeze
I was really disappointed
For nowhere did I see
A single dog, or cat, or pet
That came complete with fleas
Why are they called flea markets
Is that title just a tease
Where’s the truth in advertisement
Won’t someone tell me please...

My son and family’s flight was one
Of many not to fly.
Instead, they found a place to drive
And thus avoid the sky -

An indoor water park not far
From where we have a place, 
So very soon I’ll get to see
Each grandchild’s smiling face.

We had the driveway plowed of snow 
And shopped for food and snacks.
There will be nothing now that
This vacation really lacks.

A change of plans may disappoint
But sometimes, as they say,
A silver lining may appear
To brighten up the day....

Watched the tourist families
As they strolled and shopped and sipped.
Without their masks, you might have thought
That Covid had been whipped.

They skated on the ice and bought
Hot chocolate and raclettes.
If germs were floating in the air
They didn’t feel their threats.

Yet all of my anxiety
Of Omicron infection,
Despite my jabs and distancing
And masks for my protection

Was not apparent, outwardly,
On anyone I saw.
I wish, like them, I could command
My worry to withdraw....
