POEM: Ode to Walmart
Chantal Ralston | 1/27/12
Walmart’s almost here,
Open all days of the year.
Oh, what fun it is to spot,
A 5 acre-well lit parking-lot.

The prices are so low,
Why wouldn’t you go and double your dough,
1 dollar shirt, you think it’s a hit,
Employees forced on government funded programs, due to lack of benefits.

That shirt indirectly cost you max,
Due to increase in your tax.
Like lemurs of the cliff we jump right in,
To the feel that win, win, win.

Everything from fried chicken wings
To jewelry strings,
From baby food and plasma screen,
At Wally world it can be seen.

Advice, quality and customer care
This is not amongst their fare
Will they know your name?
The score of your kid’s football game.

We could go downtown, but no store is left behind
Empty storefronts is what you’d find
The town a ghost
Pagosa no longer the host.

But what the heck, at least we can holler
That we saved a dollar.
