WALMART
by Joan SerratelliA friend of mine
once told me
that WALMART
was like
a computer virus
it spreads
and you can find one
wherever
you live
Be it a big city
or a small rural town
there's always
a WALMART
somewhere around
The parking lot
is always full
no spaces
to be found,
so you sit
in your car
just waiting
for someone
to vacate
Once in the store
you walk
'round and 'round
looking for bargains
yet to be found
Price rollbacks
now that's a joke
if you go
the next day
they're usually
back up!
I don't like going
'cause I usually
get lost
I can't find
my husband
admist all
the merchandise
The checkout people
are friendly enough
but you can tell
by the look on their face
they don't want
to be there
anymore
than I do
I forget
why I went
I forget
what I want
but I spend
all my money
on nothing
