Shops and Molly Malone – Dublin
What is it about retail outlets? Do they have some sort of identity crisis? I was reflecting on this when I was last at a shopping mall.
Have you ever noticed that Bakers in Cambridge sells Jewellery, while Joules sells clothing and shoes? But they are not alone in this misnomer game. “Boots” sells drugs and “Super Drug” seems to primarily sell cosmetics.
Okay, I have been a little facetious, but the point is there.
I wanted a wristwatch,
It was the point of the trip,
I wandered the concourse,
With a “Costa” to sip
I tried at the “Joules,”
None there was to be had,
So I tried the “Next” shop,
But its selection was sad.
I was confused and deflated,
Out of breath from wandering round,
So I sought “Information,”
Only “Clues” and “Quiz” could be found
I went to the car park
And then I drove home,
I ordered from “e bay,”
Never again to roam

When I first moved to the town we had Smiths … which did no smithing but instead took in spuds, peeled them, sliced them. fried them, and output them packaged with a blue twist of salt.

“Boots” sells drugs and “Super Drug” seems to primarily sell cosmetics.” Ever so funny but unfortunately true. Thanks for sharing on “Promote yourself Monday or I may never have benefited from your clever prose. 🙂🌼

I somehow missed this! Glad I’m checking it out now.
This poem is SO true. Sadly.
