Closed…

What part of the word,

do you not understand?

It means what it says,

It means what it states,

No you won’t get any rebates,

Not when we are closed,

That’s what the sign says and states…

I cannot give you any of our rates,

Why? geez, can’t you just take?

What I say as the truth,

We are closed for the season,

No, you don’t need to know the reason,

suffice it to say, we are closed for repairs,

Repairs to your brain, you are in our prayers…

We will reopen in the late spring,

Just before the summer, yes it is such a bummer,

No you cannot look through our inventory,

Are you slow, are you stupid, is that the whole story?

Oh one more thing before you go,

Don’t ever come back, if I see you I will know,

That you actually did understand, therein I will blow,

Your brains out with a balloon full of air,

Not much in your head; yeah, there is not much there…
