I Wanna Live in the Vermont Country Store
I wanna live in the pages of the Vermont Country Store.
I simply can't live in the real world no more.
I want to fill up my ears with Vermont Maple Butters
And never hear another word that Sarah Palin utters.
In the VC Store I can buy Camay and Lifebuoy soap,
To wash the mouths of those who tell another Tiger joke.
I can eat Sky Bars and Chuckles and Mallo Cups till I'm full.
I'll sit on chenille bedspreads; wear socks of No-Itch merino wool.
Creamy Lobster Bisque and chowders will keep away the cold.
Health care is now up to the guy who did the nude centerfold.
(So who cares if my arteries explode?)

A Circulation Toner firms me up without me moving a muscle.
Life is good in VCS land: no texting, no blogging, no hustle.

That's all there is; there isn't any more.

Yes, yes, yes!!!! The Vermont Country Store is an excellent idea for a place to hide. Can I come with you? We can try out all the comforting stuff and never think about senate centerfolds, Sarah, Tiger or 23 year olds with plastic surgery again. But, I won't forget Haiti, I don't want to forget those faces.
ReplyDeleteI love Vermont! I have amazing family memories from skiing, enjoying the fireplace during a big snow storm and snow-shoeing and sliding down snow-covered hills. Also, Burlington is a charming little town (with a lot of weed)...I almost moved there years ago...thank god I moved to Israel instead and met the love of my life :)
ReplyDeletetoo chilly...but i love the bear
ReplyDeleteVCS sounds great, but can we go in the spring or summer? Boy do I hate winter, snow, freezing rain, gray skies....and did I mentiion that I hate the cold, too. VCS sounds like a dream. Do they have an outlet in Orlando?
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful poem! Would you mind it if The Vermont Country Store referenced it in their catalogue, Website, etc.? If you're interested, please email me through my profile.
Best,
