Scared shopper runs from rat,

Rancid Smells assault the nose,

Trolleys dressed in their finest dirt,

Food no longer fresh, reanimated by roaches.

---

Empty shelves, excite only imagination,

“Fresh” chicken smells of death,

Blood covers the floor.

No alternative to this fine mess, man I hate this store!

(Thoughts from the Husband, 2016)
