Store shelve

Clean up on isle one please
some one just broke a bottle
of aged wine that took
many years for perfection
and now it is being
mopped up and discarded as rejection.

The shelves on isle two look pretty empty today.
Is it because they are full of nuts and chips
that no one wants to stay fit.

What about the fruits
why are they all bruised
by the many hands
that want to inspect
while being hand pecked.

Rolling down the isle of products
that clean and disinfect
seem to smell the best
but we don't see the danger
inside the package
and please don't mix
bleach and meratic acid.

Clearance isle you say
well that is more on my way.
I will take the scratch and dented,
outdated, and smashed boxes
and turn them into tomarrows
better than ever leftovers.

The checkout lanes are full
but I don't have ten or less
so out with express.
I will have to get behind
the last person in register 3
because it is not all about me.

 I will have to get behind the last person in register 3 because it is not all about me.
