About nothing in particular
Saturday , and it’s my turn to work here at the retail store,
Wondered why no one’s coming in, I forgot to unlock the door.
Damn phone won’t stop ringing , I’d better take it off the hook
Laptop battery is out of juice and I didn’t bring a book.
Customers on the showroom floor, some spending their dough,
Didn’t get a chance to stop at Starbuck’s, so I can hardly wait to go.
Started getting hungry, but I didn’t bring a thing to eat,
So I got a couple of hot dogs at the store across the street.
Sold a guy a bed pad and offered to put it in a sack.
He said, “No, thanks..don’t need it. But, can I bring it back?”
I said “Sure, just make sure that it’s like new,
Better not have something on it, and I’m talking ’bout #2.
Sat here watching cars go by, I had nothing else to do
Until two fat ladies came in looking for a post-op shoe.
Sent them out the door smiling, with one that fit just right
Plunked on the old piano, a little bit of “Silent Night”.
Snagged a couple of Brownies from the fridge and choked’em down,
Cranked up the CD player, there was no one else around.
Old lady came into the store, wants to try out a lift chair.
Hoping she wouldn’t have to pay, wants to bill Medicare.
Said “You’ll need a doctor’s order, better give yours a call!”
With it, you’ll pay a portion……without, you’ll pay it all.
Mrs. Ricard called in, her husband’s going to need supplies,
A guy bought a walker for his wife, heavy duty and jumbo size.
By three o’clock, closing time, I’d had a pretty good day,
Killed the lights and locked the door, got in my Jeep and drove away.
