Oh, my aching back! A couple of years ago, I bought a hedge clipper at Walmart. I hadn't had much experience with the store, and the clipper was a recognizable brand name, and at a great price. What I've come to realize in the last couple of years is that when you get a "steal" at a Walmart, or Target, or even Home Depot or Lowes,
you end up not being the one who did the stealing. Even though the brand names are familiar, the quality of the product is so poor that you have to buy another one in a couple of years (if you're lucky and it lasts that long.) Serial purchases.

Yesterday, my hedge clipper had gotten so dull that I really racked up my back, leaning way over on a ladder to trim a tall hedge on our property. So, today I'm singing the Walmart Blues..

Here's a verse...

Add another one if you share my feelings (although hopefully, not my aching back..)

To the tune of Bay Rum Blues:

I got the Walmart blues, I've had them times before
My head is realing and my back is sore
But any old time I can rake up a dime
I'm going back and buy some more

I got the Walll..maarrt Blues
Some say that Walmart is good for the pocket
But take it from me the stuff's too bad to hock it
I keep trying but I just can't lose
Those low down, mean old Walmart Blues

(Yodel optional)
