self hurt checkouts wrongpuff 28.05.18


a visit to this area
without preaching or bragging
on customers pockets its fairer
a bargain they are bagging.
shops saw a opportunity
all to do with gluttony and greed
now a crime with immunity
a general mistake will feed.
technology will not maximise
sorry to cause frustration
shop profits are set to minimise
now the fiddle has contamination.
you may have less staff
fewer eyes on shop floor
walking out with out paying is a laugh
like putting vodka on scales and selecting rhubarb that's raw.
keep on to staff waving
more self service insert
eventually realising no saving
self checkouts honestly is self hurt.

graham loose kentish town mayor - anyone seen him lately ? 28.05.18

starting off was intimidating
the softer side would not bless
everything was done with calculating
only fear being the mayoress.
loved the recycling policy
i went to the office to share
this alone was proof of grahams aristocracy
they had never heard at five pancrass square.
homeless is on the rise
street begging and kentish has marriages
got to be nipped in bud to minimise
got to enlighten you with hidden garages.
rices are soaring
to get them low is worth a beverage
offstead school reports are high scoring
you did promise average.
this to graham is a reminder
don't send me on a chase for a goose
you get in public and play a blinder
for way to long no seen graham loose.

if you have never heard of the mayor you can find out more on this link. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCszXAqdCW_GjLxTbWZE2jVg

the Internet killed the department store by poet ben dover 29.05.18

unlike the striker
we have no loyalty
no longer to west end being a hiker
internet protects as savings are royalty.
no longer needed
sorry if no arouse
taken a long time for conceded
like poetry go on line after browse.
everything is on screen
it may not be conventional
saves you bus fare if like me a sheen
with technology you get views three dimensional.
going out when whether is raw
when you can stay in and food police
everything delivered to your door
unlike cheese chasing it shows obese.
shops need radical
this fight is not over
pot and kettle is magical
poetry on line is privileged to call this poet ben dover.

There as a young man from France,
Who was on his way to a dance,
He heard a child whining,
So he went a climbing,
And into Trumpton he did a prance.

There was a young girl named Roseanne,
And offensive tweets got her banned,
Her tweets were quite shocking,
Her pay has taken a knocking,
But she dismissed it all out of hand.
