First Post

[off_the_map]

To start off on the new journal I'm going to post something that I've written, though if all goes to plan most of the posts will be about things that other people have written.

I write a very small amount of poetry, as in one poem every ten years or so, but here is a poem that I wrote about working in a grocery store.

Please Don't Shop on Sunday

Please don't shop on Sunday,
it makes me pretty sad.
Please don't shop on Sunday
the selections pretty bad.

We sell it faster than we can stock it
and tempers are getting frayed,
because there's nothing in the backroom
so nothing extra can be made.

So please consider Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday
For any day, at any time,
is better than on Sunday

Patience is short and lines are long,
the parking lot is messy.
For everyone and their brother,
wants to shop on Sunday.

So please consider Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday.
But please, oh, please, for all our sakes,
stay at home on Sunday!


The next post will probably be fic recs, YAY.
