Corner Store Fifties Reveille

Topics: classic

I met Bear at the 5 n' dime         sipping a Cream Soda         he was voluble &         needed to talk...         "I got a shit-load on my mind,"         mumbling something about some         run-in with a Mountie - tampering         with Crown Evidence, the purloined Honey Jar,         in question, Jimmy Dean was there, too,         polishing his coolness though he would         have his own Run-In later in the evening.         As Marilyn had left,         I decided to forgo Bear's company,         still slurping his Soda &         crying into the bubbles,         some things never change.
