THE SHOP KEEPER

Folder: 
JOURNAL #32

brisk gentleman

be speckled pause

grave bedazzlement

at the strange request

from a newly arrived

elderly customer

Viagra?

the bald looking butler

from another era gone by inquires

sheepishly

The frazzled Shop Keeper

standing mid ladder

with dry goods piled high in hand

ponders distantly

"No Sir" he then says

with a newly placed helpful smile

I think its called KIA

the dealership

and its about five blocks down

off the right of Main Street

at that said

the bemused looking little butler of a man

scurried out the door

like a rat in search of a new mouse trap

to raid

laughing to myself at such theatrical scene

I pay for my own purchases and guffaw

aloud as go out to the parking lot

to climb into my own um Viagra..........
