Prompt: Famous Poem, change title and use it or don't


JC Penney



I whispered, ‘I am too late.’
And then, ‘I am early enough’;
Wherefore I went to Penney
To find out how much I might save.
‘Go and save, go and save, young lady
The sales are good for all.’
Ah, Penney, JC Penney, JC Penney,
I am looped in the loops of the mall.

O sales are the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For she would be thinking of mark downs
Till the clerks had run away
And the shadows eaten the register.
Ah, Penney, JC Penney, JC Penney,
One cannot begin it too soon.

Apologies to William Butler Yeats

Your sense of humor ever present,
like a shiny penny never spent.
