from tim torkildson

I went into a big box store so I

Could buy some screws.

I wandered past the pharmacy

And stopped to look at shoes.

The neon lights were up so high

That sparrows found a roost.

The orange signs foretold rollbacks

Unmercifully loosed.

I picked up some potato chips

And then a bag of salt,

Flip-flops, Lysol, rubber bands

And had a chocolate malt.

I got a haircut, tires changed,

The dog I had dewormed.

I ran into their little gym

To get my tummy firmed.

Luckily the ATM was right

Next to hardware –

So I punched the numbers in

And left the cupboard bare.

I got a flu shot from the nurse

Stationed by the deli.

Found a deal on pork and beans

And some guava jelly.

Couldn't pass the DVD's

Or half-priced canoes.

But you know when I got home

I clean forgot the screws!
