John, as you say, 'a few weeks ago'. It doesn't seem to happen very often these days whereas I have the impression it was once more or less the norm. And did Bill get paid?
A supermarket from the mall
Started chatting to a market stall,
One was global, one local
Both soon found that folk'll
Tire of gimmicks. Both went to the wall.
A Market Stall chortled: “ ‘Ere, Fred,
That Super appears to be dead.
Folks have had quite enough
Of purchasing stuff
That they need like a hole in the head."
