A funny little poem

Marelli’s Fruit and Real Estate
by Raymond A. Foss

That is what the bright neon sign read
this bit of fun, this whimsy
this place Leno would love
to lampoon
poke fun

A shop, a store, with a little of this
and that selling fruit
its true
and other things too
Mickey’s Big Mouth
on the bottom rack
almost out of view
beyond the Night Train
the Red White and Blue
the Mock Turtle soup
a funny place to find this or that
behind the counter, the glass
the old dark store
I never askedabout the real estate
