Oh Muse, somewhere out there where I cannot see,

Oh Muse, somewhere out there where I cannot see,

Please help me tell the story of a truly difficult and aggravating journey

Done by one man alone in a sea of people Just trying to accomplish a quest for his dear wife back at home Awaiting for some word from her long gone husband For his cell phone is dead and she cannot reach him

So she waits with her son while her husband goes to the land that is The Mall

To return an ill-fitting gift given to his beloved by a senile old mother

His trials are many and few could withstand

What this one, ever-patient man has to go through

And yet he, John Johnson, hater of all that is shopping, does it

Accomplishing what no one thought he would be able to do alone

But is he really alone?

Along the way Salesclerk Lady, a vision in a smock, helps him along

Making sure that he would be able to do what he went there to do.

So sing in me oh muse, helper of Homer, and aid me

In this telling of a most wondrous tale of patience, despair, and a little bit of luck
