For all of my shopping years I can recall,
I’d love spending time at a popular mall.
I’d go by myself or with family or friends
And stay a few hours or more - it depends.
The stores were so varied and though I’d keep track,
My favorites were always there, luring me back.
When I’d need a break to the food court I’d head -
There were fries there and ice cream, that’s quite enough said!
I no longer shop like I used to and so
A mall is a place where I no longer go.
Yet recently, just to kill time, there I was
With my husband and talk about absence of buzz -
The place was a ghost town - the shops weren’t closed,
Which is what, in all honestly, we had supposed,
But there were so few people I can’t comprehend
How those stores stay in business with no one to spend.
It made me feel sad that a part of my life
Has been severed as if with a surgical knife
For an Amazon search cannot equal at all
To the times I spent browsing all day at the mall.
