    Poem Commentary

    Looked at all the grocery adds in the Wednesday paper before going shopping. Looking for corn, I found all the different prices, before Memorial day. Of course, it was a war with all the shoppers grabbing, peeling back the husks, making a mess, loading up their sacks. Some even stripped the corn and placed the husks in a bucket and took the bare corn to the stand in line of the large baskest to the checker stands.

    CORN WAR

     

     

    It seems that every store

    Has its own corn war

    Each store has to do it best

     

    Piled corn here about

    Crowds now check it out

    Six for a dollar, our guest

     

    Paper ads advertise

    Corn, sells magnifies

    Ten for a dollar here with in

     

    While filling up the bags

    Of corn with husks that sags

    More corn is added to the bin

     

    Then pops up an add again,

    Twelve for a dollar ten

     Corn stalks the people going wild

     

    Ripping, tearing, allowed

    By the corny corn hashing crowd

    Grabbing at the fresh corn thus piled

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
