'Secret Shopper' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

How can an evaluation be validated,
When it has not been delivered...
To invalidate the vapidity of the validity?
Or the qualifications of the authority in question!

'Well...
That 'should' be quite easy,
Since we have you on camera...
Drinking a gallon of orange juice,
In isle 20.
Helping yourself to a jar of cashews,
In isle 8.
And eating three tomatos,
From the salad stand...
Prior to bringing three apples,
To check out for payment!
For which you have written a bounced check! '

Oh!
Let me see if I can locate,
My 'secret shopper' identification.
Normally...
I am not treated with such rudeness!
And my report will also mention,
The lack of firmness in your tomatos!
I find 'that' appalling.
And don't think...
I will ask for this assignment again!
