Poem - Goin' to the depot

Goin' to the depot
and I'm
Goin' to spend money, honey

Goin' to the depot
one more time
Goin' to the depot
to stand in line

Goin' to the depot
cause I'm short one small part
goin' to the depot
knew it from the start

Goin' to the depot
cause the color just aint right
goin' to the depot
my house is such a sight

Goin' to the dept
cause Ikea left me dry
can't make a day without it
no matter how hard I try

The lady in returns
knows me by my damm first name
The guy in hardware knows
that I am just so lame

The kid in paints
with pants all splattered
just shakes his head,
his patience shattered

The special order desk
keeps mine on top
cause they have learned
each day I shop
I'll stop by to say hello
to find out if
my order's slow

I'm struggling hard
to stay on track
to finish projects
in my stack

My wallet's thin
from such abuse
the guy in hardware's so obtuse

But soldier on
add Visa's bill
to depot's lot
my dream to fill

Goin' to the depot
and I'm
Goin' to spend money, honey

Goin' to the depot
one more time
Goin' to the depot
to stand in line
