A visit to the dark side

We ventured to the dark side

it’s been well past a year

but with face-masks and some caution

we felt the coast was clear

…

We’d forgotten quite how big it was

miles of shiny treasures

but then these massive superstores

don’t do things by half measures

…

We spent much more than usual

but it was a pleasure to peruse

exploring all the aisles

for the things we need and use

…

And when we’d finally finished

our legs felt numb and sore

from all the miles of walking

we did when in the store

…

But a venture to the dark side

is worth it every time

and as we come out of lockdown

it is, we feel the time

…

Having said that, it is likely

that another year will slide

before we venture back again

to sample the dark side

…

Local traders win the day 

and closer by behest

we’d far prefer to shop by them

for local interest
