Basic Necessities

By



Basic Necessities come in 6 packs and 12’s
Which are stocked and re-stocked on the very same shelves
Day in, day out-From nine to five
Our basic necessities are re-supplied

And we drive and we park and we walk and we shop
And we push and we wait and we swipe and we drop
A sale on paint brushes…JUST 12.95!
Our basic necessities identified

“For a limited time!” “This is a must buy!”
Our video/radio world has been fried
The fifty fifth lady cashier has just died  
Our basic necessities eat us alive
