Craps man


 Liquidation

Tears at Sears

John Clare Stokes


Once we worked for minimum wage

Plus commission on all we sold

It was a cut throat arrangement 

And the lazy were not at all content

They called me the Weasel

For from the lazy I would steal

Had to maintain those lofty quotas 

Selling those extended warranties 

Then one day it was announced

The lease was not renewing 

Corporate was closing us

So they bought in a liquidation crew

Even paid the homeless to carry

Signs announcing we were through

Paid them more than we ever made

Even on the best month of watching

Roy and Dave bleed from my slashing.


Bills rearranged sign
