The Octopus; Lifestyle & Lifelong Supermarket! Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Oh! The miraculous skyscraper
Consolidate three hundred and sixtyfive stories
And they're going to build another floor
For commemoration of the leap year!
Beside the massive parking lot
I chained my precious tumbledown bicycle
And the pet dog chihuahua to a tree.
My beloved's bit nervous and she asked;
' Do they accept our food stamps? '
'Why not? ' I replied.
'Darling I use the stairs and you go on escalator.'
'Are you mad? It's not good for your heart.'
'Don't worry they sell rubber hearts here
And it's easily could be prevented from bad cholesterol.
The new experimental sugar, salt and some other unsoluble granules
Harmful to the health.'
Bread forever and no expiry date and we can store for our next wedding anniversary!
Artificial meat like jelly and thank God they minimized slaughtering
But some they don't like as no blood to be seen over there.
Candymoss attached to fourteen carrot gold sticks
Darling in case of emergency we can pawn those.
Love juices in canned tins.
Hey! A Japanese sashimi restaurant on the top rotating floor
Named as 'Genjimonogatari of Lady Murasaki Shikibu' a prominent poetess
And I haven't tasted sashimi since I left Japan.
Long grain rice takes a long time to digest
That's better we can skip our meals off & on.
Some liquor I search beyond 40% of alcohol to get spin my head.
Synthetic masks resemble of actors, actresses and corrupted politicians etc., and I like if you wear Ursula Andress's, Sex symbol!
I'll choose Godfather's, when the Landlord comes to collect the next rent
He must have run away.
Hurry up darling and lets go as I have to do the graveyard shift
And it's already 3 P.M. and the month of January is going to be finished soon.
Do you hear the printing machine sounds like a train?
And they're printing 2012 calendars and the Passports of World Citizen it seems!

*To Alison & Jerry in gratitude!
