So, farewell then
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.
(a.k.a. A&P. Waldbaum's, Pathmark,
The Food Emporium, SuperFresh
and
Food Basics).
Some would say
that you were caught
between
a rock
and
a hard place.
Others might
suggest that
you were
just a hard rock
when you needed
to be
otherwise.
My five year-old self
fondly remembers
eating cookies from
open packages
on the shelves of your
Confectionary
Aisle...
But I doubt
you will truly be missed -
except
by
your landlords
and
creditors.
(With apologies to EJ Thribb aged 110, and Private Eye)
