Shopping at Wal-Mart

by LoAnn Beery

Pots and pans and bird seed,
All kinds of medicine you might need.
Underwear and hair dryers,
Groceries and Insurance suppliers.
Fifty shades of fake eyelashes,
Cologne, perfume, a squirt gun that splashes,
Car mats, dog food, eyewear choices,
Drain cleaner, gum, and gargle for voices.
House slippers, baseballs, and scary books,
The newest gadgets for gourmet cooks.
Socks and shoes and model cars,
Peanuts, popcorn, and candy bars.
Every appliance ever made,
Clocks, watches, plus a new hearing aid.
Or magazines and car wash kits-
Stuff to snack on; cheese and Ritz.
Medicine to take off warts,
Lemonade,sold in gallons or quarts.
New rings and bracelets, calorie lists...
Boxing gloves to fit on fists.
And, if you think that's all Wal-Mart has,
Over in the car-care department there's oil and gas!
