EASY STREET

Why are the roads

jammed at 2 PM

Why are the stores

crammed at 3 PM

Cuz

Nobody works

But

Everybody buys stuff

Is money growing on trees

if so please

tell me where

I seem to be the last in line

unable to find

easy street

Is it on a map

if so please

tell me where it's at

Do I need to shop at

midnight

to avoid the crowd

Where do these people work

am I just a jerk

toiling away

to make money each day

when others have found 

the hidden treasure

It would be a pleasure

to be on the list

with those who live in bliss

The ones that are on the roads at 2 PM

and in the stores at 3 PM

LOL My friend always complains about the roads and stores being crowded mid day. He's going to put this poem on his grave site. The other was an assignment about money from a book my son gave me for daily poems.

You are just too much fun Colin?

the roads are full of couriers delivering Amazon parcels to people who are out shopping down the mall for must have things that can't wait for next day delivery from Amazon. Take a deep breath Lynn and go hug a tree. You don't need any of that s**t bought on credit.
