With some degree of excitment, news comes from the land today. aka Amber Fox has successfully leased out the Erection to Wal-Mart. All signage has been screwed in place and a few Faeries feel more things need to be screwed as a result of the exciting news emanating out of nearby McDonald's Corners and at the same time out of Bentonville, Arkansas.
"I have always believed in Faeries," says Sam Walton, "Especially the tooth fairy which of course Wal-mart has recently entered into agreements for reduced offerings. Parents today know the tooth Fairy at Wal-Mart will deliver 25% less than we did 10 years ago."
"A local faerie, known for a penchant for red wine and aliens,
added, "This is great! I mean, now I can get wings for less." He later asked, "Do Faeries still have wings? Just a thought."
The deal allows for this year's Gatherings to roll out as planned. Wal-Mart will make the south end of the new parking lot next to the Erection avialible on a first cum basis.
Previous outings at aka Amber Fox permitted those Faeries wishing to go au naturale to do so. Wal-Mart has asked that this occur only within the confines of the new Wal-Erection's Faerie aisle, where prices are lower always.
Other Faeries are excited about new employment opportunities. "I just know I could be a great Wal-Mart Greeter!" exclaimed one.
A man
ReplyDeleteWith sensible walking boots
Is striding across
The high fells in Cumbria.
Walking towards him
Along the path
Is a grey mountain troll.
As they pass,
The troll says:
"How do you know
That I am a grey
Mountain troll?"
"Because these mountains
Are grey
And you have
A disagreeable
Troll-like physiognomy,"
Says the man.
Ten years later
The man recalls
A curious detail.
The mountain troll
Was carrying
A bright pink
Gucci handbag.
I bet you got it at Wal Mart!
ReplyDeleteIs the mountain troll's picture on Chip's chest?
ReplyDeleteWill there be a cult altar, I mean, a Tim Hortons counter, in the Ereck-sha-Mart?
ReplyDeleteOne stop shopping for ALL Faerie needs!
The new Wal-Erection reminds me of that great Joni Mitchell song, "Big Yellow Taxi."
ReplyDelete"They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot SPOT
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don't know what you’ve got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot"
Ereck-sha-Mart will have to have timmy's. its gotta happen, heck that s the only real need for the place anyway.
ReplyDeleteBe careful not to get hit in the head by those 'falling prices'!
