.99 Cents
By William Eldon Bevill
I just spent five dollars
at the .99 cent store
I am infatuated with the $.99 cent store
no, I am freaking infatuated with the .99 cent store!
I have never had more quality time in my life than at this place
It is utopia
around me, surrounding me
are $.99 cent items
everywhere
tools
toys
books
kitchen gadgets
candy bars?
Dear lord, I can buy everything here!
I fell in love with a girl at the $.99 cent store
fell in love with her today without a discount sale to be found
I will go home and I will cry over her and watch Donahue
and air out my shoes
she's so pretty and she sells things that cost only $.99 cents
destiny is going to happen and she doesn't even know it
since she's ringing up patron's at the cash register at a buck an item
someone just bought lipstick, band aids, fertilizer, a trash can, bleach and imitation cologne of Elizabeth Taylor
and my god! They only paid $.99 cents for each.
With broom in hand, two packages of gummy bears, an air freshener and plastic flowers
I approach the girl of my dreams, the penny pincher, the discount queen of the world
with dollar bills held firmly in hand
those which I spared from spending at the stripper show last night
I will firmly thrust them into her brittle white trash fingers
she is all my mine
we will have fun tonight
for just $2.99
