Shopping in Stores

Sometimes in a store I browse
And other times I buy.
It all depends on what they’ve got
That might just catch my eye.

And even if I fall in love,
An item might not make it
For if I can’t display it,
There’s no reason I should take it.

Today, 3 times that happened -
Two with posters, one sans frame.
I just don’t

People In Stores

People in stores
By Michelle Morris
08/10/2023

People in the store
Moving like zombies
Through aisles and choices
Displays of Western privilege

Marking each step
Further and further away
From the life of those who
Have little to feed their bellies

But much to fill their souls
As they form communities
Who stand together
Surviving and thriving in joy

Whilst people in stores
Buy so many things
That they don't need
Feeding empty

The Stores Are Alive

THE STORES ARE ALIVE

(To the tune of “The Hills Are Alive” From The Sound of Music) 

The stores are alive with the sound of Muzak;
With carols they play every Christmas time.
The stores fill my ears with the sound of Muzak;
My heart wants to sing every song sublime..

My heart beats with joy at The First Noel

Home, Sweet Home

Some things are painfully memorable,
These are the sweet moments of years gone by,
When we lived without knowing our share,
But you can't buy a ticket there anymore.

I was born under lucky stars
In the house on the corner.
This house is forever filled with dreams
It is like a beacon, cutting through the mist. ..

I remember the street from

Premium MemberDiscount Stores

People entering Giant Tiger usually have grey hair
It's something to do with the tattered clothes they wear
Bank accounts are smaller
They have dwindling dollars
A mask solves the problem of being recognized there

Premium MemberBan Crowds:Close All Big Stores

A killer has nothing to kill,
if shoppers get a grip, and 
swallow the bitter pill!
"Honey, you can't go in 
big stores anymore.
Less your are willing to be 
another victim on a concrete
floor."

Get off the dang you tube 
and shop on line!
Unless you want to be
dispatched to life, divine,
And honey, dragging kids 
into a crime scene to be?

Big Mega-Stores and Malls - Small Houses

Big malls and mega-stores, equals small houses,
With Waring spouses,
And children often the losers.

Making cents, not sense,
Politicians talking nonsense,
About skyrocketing rents.

When will the penny drop,
About the way we shop,
So, we can wear collars less hot.

Premium MemberChristmas Already

My feet are chilly, a reminder that winter is right around the bend so take care or yourselves.
Christmas thinking already?  Yes, because I was in a department store yesterday, and they had already 
Thrown out the witches, ghouls, goblins, haunted houses, and replaced them with fat Santa elves.
If you are dazzled by things red

Not Sold In Stores

Are you shy around the guys and don’t know what to do?
A rose without a bloom and you haven’t got a clue.
If you spend your nights wondering why you never grew,
just wishing you would die, then our Killer Bra’s© for you!

There’s so many ways to give you any size and pout.
When you’ve got that special

Premium MemberKresge's Five and Dime Stores

I was reminiscin' the other day about times that were more sublime,
And got to thinkin' about those old stores called Kresge's Five and Dime.
I recall browsin' through Kresge's Stores as a lad with Mom and Dad.
There ain't no more Kresge's Stores as far as I know and that is very sad.

There was a Kresge's in

Stores

I'm surrounded by stores from inside and out
and frightened by one when all are in doubt.
Depressed by no money seeing items for sale,
while wanting for everything slowly going stale.

Soon I'll be shopping for groceries again
feeling hypocrisy's end,
while spending my budget all at once
and knowing that death comes again.

New given money will blind me
raising my feelings
