Aisles of Giggles and Grit

Oh, let me tell you 'bout my day,

In the land of carts and aisles of gray,

A retail tale, where smiles are few,

Here’s a story that’s sad but true.

Wakin' up to the morning light,

Gotta put on that blue vest tight,

Trucks roll in with boxes galore,

But the scent wafts up from the loading door.

Oh, the pallet jacks squeak and moan,

In this big ol' warehouse, I feel so alone,

Gotta stack those boxes, check them twice,

But the smell in the air ain’t ever nice.

Walmart DC, it’s a little bit rough,

Smells like poo poo and yeah, it's tough,

Trying to find joy in a day of toil,

When the air is heavy with cardboard and oil.

Carts capsize like waves on the shore,

Picking up spills, I’m the cleanup chore,

Late shifts roll in, oh, what a grind,

Smiling faces all but left behind.

The fluorescent lights buzz overhead,

Managing chaos, filling with dread,

But laughter sneaks in like a breath of fresh air,

With my buddies around, we share despair.

Walmart DC, it’s a little bit rough,

Smells like poo poo and yeah, it's tough,

Trying to find joy in a day of toil,

When the air is heavy with cardboard and oil.

But then we laugh, we roll our eyes,

Making jokes through life's little sighs,

If it weren't for friends, where would I be?

Drowning in boxes, in misery.

Walmart DC, it’s a little bit rough,

Smells like poo poo and yeah, it's tough,

Trying to find joy in a day of toil,

When the air is heavy with cardboard and oil.

So here’s the truth, it’s not all bad,

Finding the funny in the life we had,

In the chaos, there’s a little spark,

Turn the gloom into a laugh in the dark.
