AS MY WORLD TURNS
I Lost My Soul at Walmart
I lost my soul at Walmart
maybe in the underwear aisle.
It could have been in cosmetics
or between the Dove and the Dial.
I don’t think it was in hardware;
I’m sure I didn’t go there;
perhaps near the storage containers,
but I don’t really very much care.
Â
I’m better off without a soul—
don’t need it to buy plastic ware.
I can watch the evening news
without bursting into tears,
listen to politicians
and resist the urge to jeer.
Â
So for those who care too much
I highly recommend
that you go right out to Walmart.
Who knows how much you’ll spend?!?
Â
Just leave your soul at Walmart,
you’ll be happier, you’ll see.
You can lose your soul at Walmart
and buy one, get one free.
