A slide show of Walmart customers triggered  this acrostic

So many people walk through the store
Every one of them unique, wanting more
Excess love of gadgets and household gear
So much in their trolleys they can hardly steer
And we see their pictures on You Tube these days
Wall flowers they are not, but on Walmarters craze

When they reach the check outs they look all around
He has more than them, but she has the real candy pound
And look over to that aisle there, just what did they miss
Two more special offers that might bring on shoppers bliss

Make a dash for the last packs before they are all gone
Oh no that woman grabbed first, so now there are none
Rush back to the check out but their place is now lost
Exclaim some blue profanities at the time that it all cost

In a heated moment, their steam they let show to us all
Security look across, but they only act if you are small

I wish I was perfect, I wish I was somewhere far away
Not stuck in this hot queue on a darned public holiday

Some time later, their plastic stretched to the limit,
Time to load the car now, if there's still room in it
Only this is the third store they had gone into today
Red faced as they pack bags to the roofs they say
Elvis! You really must empty out that ash tray...
