Death By Retail Poem by Teedy Dawn

Death By Retail



Sunday, shopping, spouse spendthrift, strict stratagem,
Swedish style, specialist storehouse. streamlined, stimulating.
Searching, seeking, spouse stressful, spotted sink,
Superior, shiny, sterile, stainless steel, spectacular!
Snag; seasonal sale, selective selection, stampede.
Short, stock, stacked, spouse swearing.
Starchy salesperson, short-tempered, showdown.
Spouse stubborn, shouting, stalemate.
Solution! Stockist suggested, substitute sink,
Splendid, suitable, savings spent, spouse satisfied.
Sink secured, switched-on,
Splutter, splash, splurge, sink substandard,
Spouse somewhat suicidal.
Sunday, shopping………………..

Well, I'm amused! You do tersely communicate the staccato change of situation and 'spousal reactions'. Wonder whether there's a poetics reason you chose 's' instead of, say, 'r', or 'd'?
