IF I DIDN’T GO TO THE MALL
If I didn’t go to the mall to walk.
I would have no one with whom I
could talk.
I would probably walk in the street.
Of course I would be alone and have
no one to greet.
I could go fishing, but not every
day. Maybe on a whim.
I could go out to the beach for a
swim.
Maybe I could even have breakfast or
something like that,
But if I did it too often, I would
probably get fat.
Dr. Parker said I should exercise to
keep the old pump
from loosing prime.
Because when the pump stops pumping
you’re out of time.
So I’ll just keep on walking where
the weather is more stable.
I’ll have coffee and visit with my
friends as long as I’m able.
I have many friends at the mall.
If I would quit going there, I would
miss them all.
I enjoy the talking, the coffee, and
the walk.
I wouldn’t miss the coffee, I might
not balk.
but I would really miss the walking
and the talk.
