One Thin Grocer

One Thin Grocer
Standing at the checkout counter
Of the favorite grocery store
Scanning cans of seafood chowder
Until he could take no more
The clerk broke down and left his station
And fitfully approached his boss
The stress of customer relations
Were to his mental health a loss

The customers were like piranhas
Sweeping in and stripping bare
Stuffing baskets with bananas
Leaving aisles in disrepair
But the clerk could go on working
With the butcher in the back
Yanking organs out of turkeys
And freeing entrails with a hack

Go ahead and eat your neighbor
Go and consume your friend
Do it in the name of flavor
You can justify it in the end
They can tamper with a wrapper
Thinking that a lower price they'll pay
But on the bloody morning after
One thin grocer runs away
