The Vanishing Chicken Truck

No, he had no permit.
Tho’ his chicken quarter was broiled,
Oh yea, it was, to Perfection,
One-two-three.
“Jimmy’s Bests,” may not have had the freshest celery
Ripest peaches, or cleanest apples ya’ ever did see;
Yet they were Real, oh my yes, Tee-Hee.
The Rhode Island Cleaning System
Was not the fastest, or newest,
(But their shirt dyes were Blue-est!)
Hanging Gable’s glossy photo over the cash register;
Did nothing to stem the cash hemorrhage.
Goins’ Sandwiches are gone;
And Sunny’s Surplus Shop
Has “surplused”’ out.
Our neighborhood corner stands
Have flown quicker than pancakes,
From a Shrove Tuesday dinner-
Goer’s hands!
