Ode to Costco In ancient times we'd buy our wares from someone in the street. We'd have our pick of rotten fruit and pretty gamey meat. The merchants then were leprous men who sold this gross array. Though filled with germs (and sometimes worms) we'd buy it anyway. Their bread and rolls were old and stale and tasted much like wood. (though even when they were quite fresh they still weren't very good). Their meat? 'Twas usually festering upon a bloody rack. And if one died from eating it You could not take it back. Hygiene was a foreign word There were no "expire dates" We weren't aware of Tupperware (or, for that matter, plates). There wasn't much to go around and what there was, was bad. You tried hard not to eat the food and buried those who had. Thus, after agues and several plagues from eating fetid mush, We wanted food that wasn't rude and didn't give us thrush. Today we shop for all our goods inside your massive warehouse. Where foods are fresh and we can have them shipped from there to our house. Your floors are clean the aisles stocked high your prices set so low. It surely beats those smelly streets To shop inside a Costco. pricecostco.com Did you really write that?
