Poet deVine went shopping
with her friend named wayoutwalt
drove home alone, she said
but it wasn’t really her fault
Seems Walt likes to shop real fast
from store to store you see
And deVine saunters ‘round agog
at the holiday finery

Walt was in the toy store,
playing with a set of trains
DeVine was in the bookstore,
trying out her brains
Walt was in Godiva
drooling at confectionery
DeVine was in the bookstore
perusing a dictionary

Walt ran over to hardware
to find a set of tools
DeVine was in the bookstore
reading “Robert’s Rule”
Eating lunch at Burger King,
Walt planned his next move
DeVine was in the bookstore
with ‘Stella and Her Groove’

Stores closing, lights turned out,
Walt was ready to leave
DeVine was in the bookstore
about to get the heave
Without a ride from deVine,
Walt boarded a bus to his house
DeVine walked to her car alone,
thinking Walt was such a louse!

The moral of the story
can be seen within this rhyme
Be sure you have a shopping plan
this year at Christmastime
And if you are asked to shop
along with deVine or wayoutwalt
Remember if you’re left behind,
it’s really not YOUR fault.

Sharon-
   LOL...this is really cute!  
   I can picture Walt shopping just
   as you've described too...
   I'd probably be hanging out with
   you in the bookstore...I can spend
   all day just looking and reading.
   Barnes and Noble is like my own
   personal little heaven...
   enjoyed this muchly..

LOL ... loved this Sharon! Though I love to spend time in the bookstore, I think I'd be following Walt around to the other fun stuff too. Sigh ... it is that time again though isn't it? Better get out the walking shoes ... thanks for the smiles!  

Best wishes,

I've solved this shopping enigma
I'll hear no straggler's moan
I'll send them to the cinema
and I shall shop alone!!!!

Second verse...[Walt's version] not much worse...

ROTFLMAO

I think MY version is correct..Walt has me leaping and spitting...I am a lady and do neither of those...except of course at those half price book sales!
